Praia do Forte

The coastline extends along white sand beaches with natural pools formed by coral reefs, offering opportunities for swimming and snorkeling throughout the year.

The Garcia D'Ávila Castle, constructed in 1551, represents the only medieval-style architecture found in the Americas and stands as a testament to colonial Brazil.

Local restaurants prepare traditional Bahian dishes using fresh seafood and regional ingredients, following recipes passed down through generations of coastal inhabitants.

Visitors can reach Praia do Forte by taking regular bus services from Salvador, which operate daily and complete the journey in approximately one hour and forty minutes.

The Tamar Project research station monitors and protects five different species of sea turtles, allowing visitors to observe hatchlings making their way to the ocean.
