by Neves Beach, Located on Ilha de Maré, this is one of the most beautiful places in Salvador. There was a time when those who followed profiles of Salvador residents frequently saw posts from this paradise, whose waters resemble the Caribbean, but which belongs to Bahia. Furthermore, it's a place where you can post incredible photos to leave your followers enchanted.
With its growing fame, Praia das Neves, which some incorrectly call Ilha das Neves (Snow Island), has acquired several kiosks to meet the demand. Therefore, it now has its own sunshades and chairs where they only charge for what you consume. And Don't forget to bring a trash bag.. Ultimately, it's a sign of respect both for nature and for others who will enjoy this beach, which is part of the Bay of All Saints.
Notice given, here are all the details you need about this beach, which belongs to Ilha de Maré.
How do I get to Praia das Neves?
The access point is at São Tomé de Paripe Maritime Terminal, It's accessible by car or bus. If you're driving, the most common route is to take BR 324, then follow the Derba road (BA 528) and continue in the direction indicated by the signs. Naval Base. The most recommended bus line is the Base Naval – Pituba, which stops at the bus station or the Lapa train station, but takes about an hour and a half to arrive.
To go by Uber, you need to put your destination as the destination. São Tomé de Paripe Maritime Terminal. For the return trip, if you want to order a car, it's best to go up to the Base Naval bus terminal. I quickly found a driver who was waiting for someone to order through the app. See the video at the end of the post for more details on where this area is located.
Free parking spaces along the sidewalk in São Tomé de Paripe are rare. In other words, bring cash to pay for parking, as the price in some places was around R$ 25 per day in 2024.
How much does the boat cost?
Now it's time to pay for the boat that will take you across to one of the most popular beaches on Ilha de Maré. Currently it costs R$ 10 per person (R$ 20 round trip) and the crossing takes around 30 minutes.
You need to ask the boatman if you're going to Praia das Neves, because it's possible to go to... Itamoabo, Botelho e Santana. Furthermore, if you are alone or with only one other person, you will need to wait for a certain number of people to leave. If you are in a group, it is easier to get them to start the trip sooner.
Even with a pier, boarding is done in the water, and the same happens when arriving at Praia das Neves. Therefore, wear shorts or flip-flops.
What to do there
The beach is relatively small, but with an impressive view. The sea water is warm, and it's worth checking the tide chart before going. If the low tide is less than 0.6, it's ideal for enjoying with the whole family.
As I mentioned before, the beach is small. It's not difficult to find your way around if you stray a little from your group. The sea is calm and when the tide is low, it becomes crystal clear, as you saw in the post above. my Instagram.
Besides diving, you can climb the hill and admire the... Our Lady of the Snows Church, which was built in 1552 by Bartolomeu Fernandes Pires. It is one of the oldest churches in Brazil and was listed as a national heritage site by IPHAN (National Institute of Historic and Artistic Heritage) in 1958.
From the hill, you have a panoramic view of the beach, making the visit even more worthwhile.
Due to its simple structure, there aren't many options for where to eat in Praia das Neves, even though there are several kiosks.
When I went, we had lunch at Restaurante Neves. The dishes are definitely enough for three people. If you're alone, you can order half of what you chose and pay half price. The price is between R$ 80 and R$ 130 per dish.
Accommodation in Praia das Neves
There are guesthouses on site for those who want to spend the night and then explore more of Ilha de Maré. I returned around 4 pm. After all, the boats to return are available until 5 pm. In other words, I can't say if the places have good facilities.
Even so, I'll leave the contact information for two places that offer rooms.
