Ilha de Tinharé

The eastern coastline of Tinharé features reef-protected beaches and deep waters, with access points distributed along specific locations of the shore.

The island developed as a maritime checkpoint during colonial periods, connecting different parts of coastal Brazil through its strategic position.

The population of Tinharé combines Portuguese, Dutch, and Indigenous heritage, maintaining traditional fishing practices and local festivals throughout the year.

Travelers reach the island through regular boat services from Salvador or Valença, with journey times varying between 2 to 3 hours depending on weather conditions.

The absence of motor vehicles on Tinharé creates a network of footpaths and waterways where wooden boats transport goods between coastal settlements.
