Answering the question of which are the best beaches in Salvador is a difficult task. After all, the capital of Bahia has around 50 km of beaches. Therefore, there is sea and sand for all tastes and in various neighborhoods of the city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thinking of those of you planning a trip to Salvador, or if you already live in the city and want advice on which beach to visit today, read this list and watch the video I made for you. my YouTube channel<\/a> showing you some of them to help you decide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What you should know about the beaches of Salvador.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I visited some beaches in Salvador and noticed some common characteristics: after the beach kiosks were demolished a few years ago, almost all of them now only have their natural formation, that is, sand and sea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Therefore, if you want to eat and drink something, you have two options: after diving, go to the sidewalks and get a coconut water or a snack from the kiosks set up there. Or bring your own food. But be aware: take all your trash with you<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let's stop thinking that the job of garbage collectors is simply to pick up your trash from the sand. In reality, their function is to keep the city clean by collecting garbage bags. Therefore, when you leave packaging, plastic cups, and other disposable materials, you are harming the environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the time this post was published, I realized that coconut water has an R$ of between 3 and 3.50. I highly recommend drinking it after a hike or swim. It's a wonderful sensation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Generally, there is a charge for renting chairs and umbrellas from those who provide them on the beach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With these warnings out of the way, let's get down to business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What are the best beaches in Salvador?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Porto da Barra<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"Porto<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

In 2007, the British newspaper The Guardian<\/em> chose Porto da Barra as one of the best beaches in the world<\/a>. In other words, the crystal-clear waters, calm sea, and views of the Santa Maria and S\u00e3o Diogo Forts have been impressing for a long time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Furthermore, it's possible to see the Barra Lighthouse, one of Salvador's iconic landmarks. The sidewalks and balustrade are charming and an essential part of the area's scenery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Barra Lighthouse<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Like its "neighboring area," it's quite popular. It has a long stretch of sand in its favor, but on weekends it seems like it's not enough. However, there's a part of the beach that's becoming a hit on Instagram: the Mermaid's Hole.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It's a rock formation that, on a sunny day, gives the water a beautiful color and makes the lighthouse look stunning. But many people don't know about it or how to get there. That's why I... this tutorial<\/a> that will help you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

S\u00e3o Tom\u00e9 de Paripe<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Considered the last beach in Salvador, S\u00e3o Tom\u00e9 de Paripe is just as beautiful as the Caribbean. It's located in the suburbs, therefore far from the city center. If you're a tourist staying for several days, it's worth including in your itinerary and reserving one of those days to enjoy this beach and, perhaps, take the ferry to reach [the other beach]. Neves Beach<\/a>, which is also beautiful and worth a visit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When I went, I felt an incredible energy of peace. Admiring the sunset, the silence that prevailed at that moment, since there was practically no one on the sand, is an unforgettable feeling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
