Praia do Forte is a long beach with a small village 80 km away from the city of Salvador, Bahia. The beach is known for its clear waters, white sand, natural pools, rivers and an ecological reserve of native flora and fauna.

As soon as you arrive in Praia do Forte, you'll be greeted by the crystal clear waters and white sand beaches that make this area famous. Spend your days lounging in the sun, swimming in the ocean, or taking part in water activities like snorkeling and surfing. And if you're feeling adventurous, head into the rainforest to explore the trails and see exotic wildlife like monkeys, jaguars, and toucans.

One of the highlights of Praia do Forte is the Tamar Project, a conservation organization that works to protect sea turtles and their habitats. You can visit their headquarters in town to learn about their efforts and even see baby turtles up close. Another popular attraction is the Garcia D'avila Castle, a 16th-century fortress that offers a glimpse into Brazil's colonial history.
