Praia da Boa Viagem, Beach in Boa Viagem neighborhood, Salvador, Brazil

The golden sand beach stretches along the Itapagipe Peninsula, offering views of All Saints Bay and the Salvador cityscape in the distance.

During the 1755 tsunami, the waters of Praia da Boa Viagem rose three meters high, marking a significant event in the beach's geological history.

The Maritime Procession of Bom Jesus dos Navegantes arrives at this beach on January 1st, drawing thousands of participants to celebrate local traditions.

The calm waters with minimal waves make this beach suitable for water sports, while local stands serve regional snacks and seafood dishes.

The eighteenth-century Boa Viagem Church stands near the beach, creating a distinct intersection of historical architecture and coastal landscape.
