  • Usually, entry into the water is gentle, which is very good for kids. There are 116 such beaches.
  • An important clarification, 137 beaches in the state have a long intertidal zone, which means that during low tide hours you may have to travel a considerable distance. This is also something to consider if you don't want to suddenly be in the water at high tide.
  • The average distance from the road to beach in Bahia is less than 500 meters. 182 beaches are relatively easy to access, 3 beaches are difficult to access, which in most cases means that you have to walk a quite long distance, and 2 beaches are only accessible from the water.

The vast majority of Bahia beaches have the necessary amenities, such as sun loungers, umbrellas, beach cafes, showers and toilets.
