Barra beach

Barra is a wild beach on the island of Boipeba in Brazil. There is a small cafe. But most of the coastline are just trees, palms and soft sand. There is a problem of strong low tides. But anyway there will be a period of high tide during the daytime, when the swimming is possible. Shore and seabed: sand, stones. [edit]

Hotels [edit]

There are no hotels near Barra beach. But the beaches of Cueira (to the north) and Morere (to the south) may offer good choice of different accommodations from US$30 per night.

How to get there [edit]

Fly to Salvador da Bahia international airport (SSA). Then you have three options to get to Morro de Sao Paulo:

- plane (20 min per way, US$90 for the return);

- boat/ferry (2 hours per way over the choppy ocean, US$25 for the return);

- public transportation by the mainland (4 hours per way, US$10 for the return, - ferry from Terminal Maritimo São Joaquim to Itaparica, next take a bus to Valença and then get by ferry to Morro de São Paulo).

Once you are in Morro de Sao Paulo, then it's left just to pass another 20 km to the south :) You may walk, or get by boat, or choose public transportation by the ground. In any case, it won't be expensive. Ask locals for options that are available at the moment, and you will understand what is the best for you.

When to go [edit]

Barra beach is good for a holiday any time of year - except for the short rainy season in May.
