A hundred thousand coconut trees standing on 12km (7 miles) of white sandy beach in this tranquil fishing village, is one reason why Praia do Forte has recently become one of the most sought after beach destinations in Brazil. Praia do Forte is known for its beaches, restaurants, bars and handcraft artisan shops and boutiques. 80 km north of Salvador, It has a strong emphasis on preservation of the local flora and fauna and the coral reefs off the coast are superb for snorkeling. Nearby is a picturesque river for canoeing and kayaking and also a small pantanal (wetland area) which is host to a large number of birds, caymans and other animals. The mixture of unexplored nature, a comfortable and relaxing pousada and access to great bars and restaurants will make your trip to Brazil an unforgettable experience.
