Ribeira beach

Ribeira Beach is a coastal strand in Salvador with golden sand and shallow waters where visitors place chairs and tables directly in the sea. The beach offers rental services for seating and shade structures, located near the Archbishop's Summer Palace.

Before the airport was established, this location housed a hydroport that served as the arrival point for politicians and artists traveling to Salvador. This historical role as a transportation hub shaped the area's development.

The Gorda da Ribeira celebration on Mondays connects to the Bonfim Festival, bringing residents and visitors together for traditional Bahian cuisine and music. This event reflects the vibrant local identity tied to the beach.

Multiple bus lines connect directly to the beach, making it easy to reach by public transport. The location offers convenient facilities for renting equipment and spending time by the water.

Local rowing competitions take place between teams from Itapagipe, Vitória, São Salvador, and Santa Cruz in the waters here. These traditional contests are an important part of community life in the area.
