The local experience
Built in the late 17th century to defend against the Dutch and shelter Portuguese ships, it has a square layout with pentagonal bastions at the corners. It is also known as Fortaleza da Barra Grande.
Discover Forte de Santo Inácio de Loyola
With calm water, it has white sand, coconut palms and natural pools formed among the coral reefs. On the waterfront stands the old Igreja de São Pedro (church), one of the landmarks of the landscape.
It sits at the mouth of the Mamucabas River, near the border with Barreiros, and has very few buildings. The almost deserted stretch combines the meeting of river and sea, coconut groves and a long expanse of sand.
Discover Praia da Boca da Barra
River, sea and coconut grove meet on a postcard beach. The little white Chapel of São Benedito at the edge of the sand is the symbol of the place.
The reefs off the main beach form shallow, warm pools you can reach by jangada. The stretch is part of the protected APA Costa dos Corais.
