Tassomirim is a beach on the north coast of
Boipeba island in Brazil. This is not the most beautiful beach on the island. But on the other side, it's relatively secluded. However, the scenery is still beautiful, while swimming is comfortable enough. During the low tide, occasional areas of rocky bottom are exposed. But there are also few sandy areas. Shore and seabed: sand, stones.

Hotels [edit]
Within a walking distance from Tassomirim beach, there is a village with best choice of hotels on the island. Rooms' fares range from US$20 to US$170 per night. There are both basic guesthouses, as well as relatively decent hotels with a pool.
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]
