Porto da Barra Beach
Porto da Barra Beach is located in the city of Salvador, Bahia. It is located at the entrance of the Baía de Todos os Santos, with a small, white colonial fort at one end and a whitewashed church sitting up on a hill at the other. Salvador is surrounded by beaches. There people go to relax, cool off, chill, socialize, eat, drink, dance, exercise, surf, and of course swim. They vary from crowded city beaches great for meeting people to tropical idylls up and down the coast. One of the first beaches that most people get to know in Salvador is Porto da Barra. On weekends, especially Sundays, the beach can get very crowded, and you have to watch out for your stuff. The beach is set within the bay and the water is much calmer than on the oceanside beaches; it’s good for swimming.
