Praia do Buracão, Beach in Rio Vermelho, Salvador, Brazil.
The beach features golden sand bordered by volcanic rocks, with clear waters forming a natural pool at the shoreline during low tide.
This coastal area has been a gathering point for Salvador residents since the early formation of the Rio Vermelho neighborhood in the 20th century.
The Blue Praia Bar at the beach serves traditional Bahian seafood dishes and hosts outdoor film screenings for visitors throughout the year.
Visitors can access the beach through two entrances with stairs, and the Blue Praia Bar provides chair and umbrella rentals from 10 AM to 8 PM.
The beach maintains a smaller, more contained swimming area compared to other Salvador beaches, creating natural protection from ocean currents.
