Itapuã Beach, Beach neighborhood in Salvador, Brazil
The beach extends along a palm-fringed coast with golden sand, coral formations, and emerald waters suitable for swimming and water activities.
The area began as a small fishing settlement before developing into a coastal neighborhood, where fishermen continue selling fresh catches directly to visitors.
The Lavagem de Itapuã ceremony occurs each Thursday before Carnival, with Baianas washing the Nossa Senhora da Conceição church steps with flowers and water.
Beachgoers can rent chairs and umbrellas from numerous stands, while local restaurants serve regional dishes including fresh seafood and acarajé.
Rua da Música, formerly known as Rua K, remains a gathering point for sports enthusiasts, carrying forward its legacy from the 1970s and 1980s.
