I believe that in a near future Gamboa will be the place for living here with quality of life. In Morro everything is double price compared to Gamboa. And the nature is becoming dirty because of us. The Fountain of Water of Morro de São Paulo, important 300 hundred years as the principal fountain of water of Bahia, now is... More

We really liked this beach. Relaxed with an autentic feel too it. Good seafood. Walk from Morro at low tide and get the ferry back, really easy. Just make sure you check the times of the ferry, the locals keep claiming that it goes all day all the time but this is a slight exaggeration.

This beach is the perfect alternative if you want to be away from the noise and just enjoy the warm waters of the ocean. The only ¨but¨ is that the food is not very cheap. Highly recommended.

The best way to reach the beach in walking. You have to do it early in the morning though as the tide will cover the walking part. It takes about an hour to reach it, but on the way you see beautiful sceneries and you can even get a mudbath experience. We went there after our late night - morning... More

It is very hard to try and find something to dislike about this place... Excellent seafood, ice cold beers, beautiful beach and lots of sun... what's there to complain about?!! Nothing
