Praia de Piatã, Beach in Piatã, Salvador, Brazil

The beach extends along the coast with clear water areas and natural pools where marine life such as octopuses, starfish, and tropical fish inhabit.

The location was originally named Praia de São Tomé during colonial times, when the coastal area between Amaralina and Itapuã remained sparsely populated.

The beach name derives from Tupi language meaning 'hard foot' or 'persistent', selected by businessman Frederico Edelweiss who studied indigenous peoples.

Visitors can access various facilities including restaurants, a children's playground, observation points, and a dedicated area for beach sports activities.

The 2017 addition of Vila Piatã created a new recreational zone with bars and food establishments, enhancing the beach experience.
