Costa do Dendê is located on the northern coast of Bahia, just below the Costa dos Coqueiros. The Coast passes through seven cities, namely: Valença, Taperoá, Nilo Peçanha, Maraú, Ituberá, Igrapiúna,
Cairu and Camamu.
The region received this name precisely because of the large production of palm oil, a spicy and indispensable ingredient in many typical dishes of this busy state. In addition, it has about 115 km of beach, not to mention the islands and the Bay of Camamu
.
Like much of the northern coast of Bahia, the region is full of leisure options for those who do not give up a good beach or enjoy water sports, and even for those who love to venture into ecotourism activities.
The cities of Costa do Dendê offer numerous tours, we have selected four destinations that you need to visit on your trips to Bahia. So, grab the notebook and come with us!
1. Morro de São Paulo
Wave-free beaches, crystal blue waters, firm sand and rocks are attributes that make Morro de São Paulo a must-see destination for those who wish to visit the Costa do Dendê tourist area.
The archipelago is located next to Valença, less than 60 km from Salvador. In Morro de São Paulo, you can find five beaches, all with calm seas and few or no waves
.
Primeira Praia is ideal for those looking for water sports, such as surfing, zip lining and diving. Second Beach, on the other hand, is perfect for those seeking tranquility during the day and bustle at night. And the Third Beach is a strip of sand that divides the Second Beach and offers super relaxing sea baths
.
The waterfront of Quarta Praia is extensive and open, and during low tide, you will find several natural pools. Finally, Quinta Praia is in a more isolated spot, so it is necessary to take a jeep to visit it, as it is accessed through the forest
. 2. Ilha de Boipeba
Boipeba is the destination for those who want a lot of peace and tranquility while enjoying dives in a blue and open sea or in an enchanting and slightly mysterious river. In addition, you can take advantage of jet-ski tours and speedboats
.
The island is part of the municipality of Cairu but is not connected to the mainland. On one side, it is bathed by the Atlantic Ocean, and on the other, by the River of Hell
.
The town of Boipeba, like the beaches, is super quiet. Great for taking long walks during the day, but without major events during the night.
3. Itaparica Island
With a large strip of light and very soft sand, Itaparica Island has one of the most enchanting settings among the beaches of Costa do Dendê. The sea has a strong and wonderful blue tone.
The waters that bathe the island are warm and with few waves. When the tide is high, it's the perfect time to have fun diving in a crystal clear sea, but when the tide is low, you can take the opportunity to relax and take that bronze in the sand
.
In addition, you can take advantage of the tour to take a walk around the center of the village, which is filled with centuries-old mansions, cobblestone streets and a welcoming atmosphere typical of small towns and cities.
4. Maraú
In Maraú, another city on the Costa do Dendê, you will find simply incredible beaches.
The one in Taipu de Fora has an incredible sea that mixes with blue and sunny skies. During low tides, you can enjoy diving in the natural pools that form on the edge of the beach. In addition, it has a very quiet and peaceful climate
.
Barra Grande, on the other hand, is the gateway to the Maraú Peninsula. There, you can find several restaurants, bars, and other types of commerce. In addition, you can enjoy an incredible view of Camamu Bay
.
And you don't have to worry about the sea, as the waters are calm for bathing during both high and low tides. You can't leave Maraú off the Costa do Dendê itinerary
