Praia de Inema, Beach in Salvador, Brazil.
Praia de Inema is a beach along the coast of Salvador with white sand and coconut palms lining the shore. The water is clear and meets the sand at one of the city's main waterfront stretches.
The beach gained national attention when President Fernando Henrique Cardoso chose it as his vacation spot in 1998. This presidential visit started a tradition of subsequent leaders visiting the location.
The name Inema comes from the indigenous Tupi language, combining "y" meaning water and "nem" meaning odorous. This reflects how indigenous heritage lives on through the place names of Salvador.
The beach is divided into two sections: one reserved for the Brazilian Navy and one open to the public. Visitors should watch for clear markers separating the two areas to know which section to access.
The Brazilian Navy operates a military facility on this site with its own small village. The naval complex includes residential buildings, a chapel, and even a cinema for military personnel and their families.
