Beaches Neighbourhoods

PRAIA DO BURACAO “The beach, frequented by young locals, is well hidden in-between houses and condominiums; many tourists do not know about it. The waves here can be quite strong so take precautions when entering. When tide is low, small pools form so one can enjoy while sipping on cold beer. The shortest route is to go around hotel Mercury on a sandy and rocky path (20 minute walk).

Drinks & Nightlife

“Good acarajés and abarás are the great legacies that Dinha left for Bahia. Nowadays her daughter is in charge. The place has earned the name of Largo da Dinha and is a very popular option on Salvador's nights, to eat and have a beer. Acaraje is is a local dish made from peeled beans formed into a ball and then deep-fried in dendê (palm oil).”
