Segunda Praia, Beach in Morro de São Paulo, Brazil

Segunda Praia stretches along the coast with white sand and clear water, where visitors can swim and enjoy various water activities. The beach is lined with restaurants, bars, and rental facilities that serve different types of visitors.

Segunda Praia lies on the Tinharé island coast, near the channel separating it from the mainland. In the 16th century the Portuguese established a defensive post on Morro de São Paulo to guard the Bay of All Saints approaches; the island later lived from fishing and subsistence farming. From the 1980s a ferry link and guesthouses turned the beach into the island's main lodging strip.

Local food vendors offer traditional Bahian dishes with fresh seafood and regional sweets prepared using recipes passed down through generations. This food culture shapes daily life on the sand and reflects how people connect to their regional culinary traditions.

The beach is easy to reach on foot and offers different areas for various activities and preferences. Visitors should prepare for changing weather conditions and come early morning or late afternoon when fewer people are around.

Segunda Praia takes its name from its position: it is the second beach reached walking north from the village pier, after Primeira Praia. The numbered names continue along the island's western shore, so the beach is a fixed point in a sequence rather than a separate resort.
