Praia do Flamengo, Beach in Stella Maris, Salvador, Brazil.

Praia do Flamengo is a beach in Stella Maris with pale yellow sand that stretches along the Atlantic coastline and is lined with coconut palms. Rock formations in the water create natural pools and coves that divide the sea into different zones.

In February 2015 the Salvador municipality launched a revitalisation project for the Stella Maris shoreline, including the Praia do Flamengo stretch, with walking trails, cycle lanes and wooded areas planned. Works were scheduled to begin in October 2015 and be delivered in 2016, but the project was never carried out.

The beach's name comes from the Flamengo neighbourhood of Salvador, and its stretch of sand in Stella Maris is used for walking, fishing, spearfishing, frescobol and kitesurfing as well as surfing. Coconut palms line the yellow sand, and the reefs offshore produce strong waves that draw surfers.

The sand is lined with coconut palms, and reefs offshore produce strong waves, so bathers should stay aware of surf conditions while surfers and kitesurfers use the same water. Walking, fishing and frescobol are common along the shore.
