Tour By Locals Unforgettable local experiences
Getting there
There are dozens of stunning beaches up and down the long tropical coastline of Bahia. In addition to beautiful beaches there are also coastal towns like Trancoso and Caraíva in the south, the touristy village Morro de São Paulo, the off-the-beaten-path Boipeba Island and of course Barra Grande. Barra Grande is a small village located on the tip of the Maraú Peninsula, upon Camamu Bay.
We were lucky to stay here on the beach of Taipus de Fora, which is in the heart of the Peninsula, a true piece of paradise and is considered one of most beautiful beaches of Brazil.
Getting there
Barra Grande is an off-the-beaten-path type place. It is accessible only by boat, Jeep/private transfer, or private plane. Due to the difficult access the village has managed to preserve its unique and authentic charm and environment. Although it attracts more tourists every year, it is still quite peaceful and quiet even in the summertime.
We arrived to Barra Grande from Ilheus by private transfer. There were other options that were much more complicated so we were glad we did take the transfer our pousada (bed and breakfast) owners arranged for us! To get there you need to pass unpaved, dirt roads that are muddy and in a very bad state, so it was much easier to go with a local driver who knew the roads.
