Ondina Beach, Beach in Ondina, Salvador, Brazil

Ondina Beach runs from the Barravento restaurant, at the foot of the Morro do Cristo, south to the Clube Espanhol, passing the hotel district where buildings block access to the sand. The beach is about seven kilometres from the city centre, on the Atlantic. Its sand strip is short, with beach bars in the southern section, and natural pools appear at low tide.

Ondina Beach lies in the Ondina neighbourhood, which became part of Salvador's urban fabric and now hosts the Governor's Palace and the city zoo. The beach marks the end of the Barra-Ondina Carnival circuit, a route that passes through this upscale district.

The beach is part of the Barra-Ondina carnival route, where parades and celebrations take place during the annual carnival season.

The beach offers food stalls, beach services, and good swimming conditions at an accessible location. Visitors should come during low tide to explore the natural rock pools.

The beach begins after the Barravento restaurant, by the Morro do Cristo, and runs to the Clube Espanhol. In the hotel stretch, the grounds of the Clube Espanhol, the Aeronáutica and the hotels block both the view of and the access to the sand.
