Nice beach where more then a peaceful swim you get an integration in the Fortaleza culture, packed with events, friendly people, good food and of course very Caipirinha friendly

Beautiful beach, not too crowded. Excellent umbrella and chair services, with cold drinks available. A perfect place to relax.

Best of the Fortal City

Do not suggest this place to stay, to spent your time there. It's a dirt beach with small cases of thefts. It's necessary to keep the Police all time there. The sea is danger to stay in family (kids).

It's really nice, the beach has lovely sand they try to keep it clean and you can see really beautiful women's and splendid buildings landscape.

Had a great time. the food was amazing. Great location.

This post card of Fortaleza! I like it

It is a Nice place for art. Unfortunately the Spots and the places are Not Very good indicated, we got a little bit Lost.

The whole facilities are under major upgrading at the moment. There is in fact not much to see now.

The place was staffed, but closed for reconstruction and no indication of that prior to have saved the trip going there. According to the Uber Driver they want to open in two month (November 2025) again, but from the progress of the reconstruction (none), that seems to be very ambitious. Beside that, the area is not safe to walk and there’s nothing much else to do. All in all, it was a great disappointment.

In need of maintenance/update. Too little expositions. Stores closed. No energy at this place unfortunately. Expected a little more.

The exhibitions were cool! But it was hard to get around there because there weren't any signs. There's a nice looking cafe, but it opens at 3pm. It was very empty during day time but that was nice.

If you think this a centre for art and culture, which would reasonable when that's what its name is - you are wrong! It's a cinema AND a planetarium. Nothing else going on here.

Place has a rooftop and live music on the ground floor until 3-4am

(Translated by Google) The beach has a wide, well-maintained boardwalk; a security base with visible policing. Although beautiful, the beach is not recommended for swimming, as it is deep and polluted. (Original) Orla com calçadão amplo e bem conservado; base de segurança com policiamento ostensivo. Apesar de bonita, a praia não é recomendada pra banho, por ser funda e poluída.

(Translated by Google) After the renovations, the boardwalk is now a good place to stroll. There are public restrooms and several kiosks and beach bars. I don't recommend swimming, but I really enjoy watching the ocean, drinking coconut water or another drink, and chatting. (Original) Depois da reforma no calçadão ficou bom pra passear. Tem banheiros públicos também e vários quiosques e bares de praia. Não recomendo o banho de mar, porém pra ficar vendo o mar, tomar água de coco ou outra bebida e conversar eu curto demais.

(Translated by Google) The beach is beautiful, great for walking at night without fear of walking, but the streets are very busy... Although the others are not like it. (Original) A praia está linda ótimo para caminhar noite sem medo de andar mas ruas bem movimentada .... Emboras as outras não esteja como ela.

(Translated by Google) ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ An unforgettable experience at Praia do Meireles! One of my favorite places in Fortaleza. The beach is beautiful, well-maintained, and perfect for walking, relaxing, or just enjoying the scenery. The boardwalk is bustling with life: handicrafts, live music, and delicious food everywhere you look. I tried incredible tapioca and refreshing coconut water while watching the sunset... priceless! 😍 I felt safe the whole time, and the atmosphere is very family-friendly. It's also super well-located, close to good hotels and other tourist spots. Definitely a place I would return to again and again. Highly recommended! (Original) ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Una experiencia inolvidable en Praia do Meireles! Uno de mis lugares favoritos en Fortaleza. La playa es hermosa, bien cuidada y perfecta para caminar, relajarse o simplemente disfrutar del paisaje. El paseo marítimo tiene muchísima vida: artesanías, música en vivo y comida deliciosa por donde mires. Probé una tapioca increíble y un agua de coco fresquísima mientras veía el atardecer... ¡no tiene precio! 😍 Me sentí seguro todo el tiempo y el ambiente es muy familiar. Además, está súper bien ubicada, cerca de buenos hoteles y otros puntos turísticos. Sin duda, un lugar al que volvería una y otra vez. ¡Muy recomendado!

(Translated by Google) This place is magnificent for walking, sunbathing and swimming. From early on they prepare the umbrellas and chairs to be able to enjoy the beach day that begins very early since at 5 p.m. The sun is already beginning to set. The beach falls sharply and this means that you can swim in the sea that is clean and warm. I want to emphasize that the water is very pleasant and does not leave your skin sticky. What caught my attention is that there is only one lifeguard who walks along the shore from end to end. This may be why swimmers enter the sea with a type of float tied to their waist with a strap. The water temperature is magnificent and gives me the feeling of swimming in a heated pool. They constantly clean the sand of waste and provide you with a bag for collecting it. Along it there are stalls with a wide variety of drinks and also products to eat. The sunset is wonderful and leads you to take many photos. (Original) Este lugar es magnífico para recorrer, tomar sol y nadar. Desde temprano preparan las sombrillas y las sillas para poder disfrutar del día de playa que comienza bien tempranito ya que a las 17 hs. ya comienza a ocultarse el sol. La playa cae en picada y esto hace que puedas nadar en el mar que está limpio y templado. Quiero destacar que el agua es muy agradable y no te deja la piel pegoteada. Lo que me llamó la atención es que hay un solo guardavidas que pasa caminando por la orilla de punta a punta. Será por eso que los nadadores ingresan al mar con una especie de flotador atado a la cintura con una correa. La temperatura del agua es magnífica y me da la sensación de estar nadando en una pileta climatizada. Constantemente pasan limpiando la arena de residuos y te facilitan una bolsa para su recolección. A lo largo de la misma hay puestos con gran variedad de bebidas y también productos para comer. La puesta de sol es maravillosa y te lleva a sacar muchísimas fotos.

I would not recommend this place AT ALL! it is the worst beach I've been to in my life and I've been around the world. It smells like sewage and feces which is unbearable. Also as many people mentioned there is someone trying to sell you something every 2 mins..

Beautiful beach with all the power the ocean has to offer on display, careful about hanging around after dark

Be careful, there are some areas where you have to pay for the table and chairs. Ask before you sit down. I think it’s a scam to pay for the table

Lots of water, I don't recommend drinking it though, cuz it might taste a little salty. The sand tastes alright though

Awesome beach for relaxing and enjoying the beach clubs there. The water isn't the best for a swim due to waves and clarity.

Nice beach, but you need to pay attention on possible, though not probable, thefts. Don't be fooled by the constant winds (especially between August and October) or even partly cloudy days: the sun is treacherous and really burns here. Take tons of sunscreen with you.

Very good beach. Maybe the best one in Fortaleza. However, you have to be careful for the criminals. There are a lot of pickpockets, stickups and armed robbery. It is safe if you come only for a bath and enjoy the sun without anything in your hands or inside your pockets. Bring only your hotel key and nothing else.

Arena Castelão — officially known as Estádio Governador Plácido Aderaldo Castelo — is located in Fortaleza, Brazil. It was one of the main venues for both the 2013 FIFA Confederations Cup and the 2014 FIFA World Cup. Here are a few key facts about it: •   Renovation and modernization: Originally built in 1973, it underwent major renovations between 2010 and 2012 to meet FIFA standards. •   Capacity: Around 63,000 spectators. •   Design: The renovation added a new roof, improved stands, better access, and sustainable features like rainwater reuse and solar panels. •   Technology: In recent years, Castelão introduced facial recognition technology at its gates, enhancing both security and entry efficiency for fans — a first among some major Brazilian stadiums. •   Use today: It’s home to local football clubs such as Ceará SC and Fortaleza EC, and still hosts large concerts and events.

Hi I'm American I loved the castelão, I support Corinthians, it cost $220 but it was worth it

We went for a nice guided tour this July. We were guided by Luciana and it was great. Just come and they will always make room for more people, it is really never full. Beautiful place!

Great arena! So much fun to experience a game here! Great energy! Go Fortaleza!!!!! ⚽

Poor administration. Toilet sucks, such a shame for such good structure but I have a lot of good memories

I really enjoyed watching a soccer match at Castelão. The lines were organized and the seats were good. The only downside is that it can get really hot during the afternoon. It will depend on your seating area though. There is a parking lot outside. However I've never parked there.

mt bom !!

Great Family-Friendly Beach Spot with Aqua Park We had a lovely time visiting this beach — it’s a fantastic destination for families. The beach itself is very clean, safe, and spacious, offering plenty of room for both swimming and playing. Water is Cristal clear. Just a heads-up: if you want to sit at a table with chairs near the beach, there is a fee. There are two seating options available: VIP Area – Costs ₹900 just for the table; food and drinks are charged separately. Regular Area – Costs $90 for the table, but you can use as many chairs as needed, which is perfect if you’re visiting with a larger group. Charges for table use usually begin between 12:30 PM and 3:30 PM, depending on the day. Beach Aqua Park — fun for all ages! The entry fee varies by season; in July, it was $300 per person. Toilets are clean and tegere is a cleaner who is there all day. Food is great as well but you need to expect to pay more than if you would eat outside. We actually found a great place to eat nearby it was cheaper than on the beach . All in all, a great place to relax and enjoy a family day out by the water.

Going to the Beach Park in Fortaleza is an experience that I would recommend across the board. They are one of the largest water parks in the world with attractions that span the range from low to extreme intensity. I’ve had the opportunity to go there a few times as a child and went again now as an adult and it was just as fun as I remembered. Good: 1 - Excellent service. Employees are polite and knowledgeable. 2 - Lot’s of food options. 3 - Queues are not too long. 4 - Several options of attractions. 5 - Great layout with distribution of food/beverage kiosks, high/low intensity rides and pools distributed throughout. 6 - Easy access from hotel complexes. To Improve: 1 - The power went out when I was there. It took around 10 minutes for the attraction I was at to normalize. This is lack of proper engineering or configuration of the backup systems. A diesel generator should kick-in and stabilize within 1 minute of a power outage. Moreover, given that power to the attractions is essential to the proper operation of the park, they should have a UPS battery backup to sustain the park for a duration long enough for generators to kick in. 2 - The meat/bacon burger at the Beach Burger kiosk was bad. Dry and hard. Almost inedible. The chicken option was much better. 3 - A few attractions were closed. I understand this can happen. However, this needs to be informed extremely well to park goers. Ideally in a language that humanizes the situation. “Sorry, our pump is sick today but the attraction will be up in x days”. 4 - The lazy river was weaker than I expected. There were less pumps on? 5 - The Hupa/Hopa was not doing the water discharge to speed up the attraction as it used to. 6 - No way to keep track of time when around park since there are no clocks. Add some? Even though I am giving the park a 5-star review, I hope that the feedback can be put to use. If Beach Park plans on becoming “the Disney of Brazil” nothing short of perfect is enough.

The toys are really nice, and the park is well maintained. Quite safe for kids. Though i believe the park is more enjoyable for kids older than 10. I give 2 stars because they made me lose 1h15m advertising a travel package scheme that i didn’t want to sign. I arrived at 1pm and the park closes at 5pm, so i lost 30EUR! (3 adults 2 children). Also they messed up my tickets. Because i didn’t have to pay for an autistic child companion and they made me pay. Both employees were rude and didn’t inform me correctly. So in the end i only enjoyed 2h45min.

The beach is absolutely amazing and the water park has a lot of attractions. Also it is not that busy so the waiting time is decent.

The beach park offers a vast expanse with a wide array of activities suitable for a diverse age range spanning from three-year-olds to those in their sixties. Our visit to the park took place on a weekend, and despite the large crowd, waiting times for most activities were surprisingly short. Safety was a top priority, evident in the presence of numerous vigilant lifeguards stationed throughout the park. They were extremely dedicated to their roles. Personally, my most exhilarating experience was the "Insano," which provided a thrilling adrenaline rush.

Beautiful park, very well run, and the slides are excellent! My family and I had a great visit.

A really fun place to visit but very busy and there were long queues for everything, including food outlets. We only managed 4 rides in the entire time we were there. It is only open from 11am to 5 pm. 5 stars if we went on a quiet day!

Clay Cliffs along the beach! The cliffs of reddish, sandy clay that rise above Morro Branco beach are beautiful. The parade of waves we see in the distance washes endlessly against the lower layers of the Beberibe Cliffs, while wind and rain batter the upper reaches. There is slow erosion or sudden landslips and this Brazilian natural monument is continually crumbling away. Only guided tours are allowed here.

The cliffs aren’t here despite the photos! It’s a beautiful beach surrounded by what look like party houses, but the drive is a rough one (the most fun part of heading this way 😅) over rocky roads and wet red sand. For the cliffs lol for Labirinto das Falésias de Morro Branco You’ll see the hill with the white tower from the beach, it’s back that way ☺️

It was in 1983 and we had wonderful time at the beach. I remember the colorful fishingboats with their large sails, some being rolled up on the beach. The multicolored sand and the artistic sand pictures inside bottles. And friendly people.

Worth the trip. You need to rent a buggy with driver to guide you to these beaches and sights. Great for pictures but not swimming.

My favorite beach in Brasil. The beach can be rough but it has beautiful sand dunes and the people are friendly. Keep your stuff safe.

Typical and rustic brazilain beach. Beautiful view ... nice weather and warm water. Nothing sofisticate, but a nice and quite place.

I wonderful place with a very good story. The tour guide (Wesley) was very funny and happy. It was a really good visit

Beautiful landscape and natural sand and stone formations. Easy access and possible to take pictures. Please just don't touch the sand structures!

Beautiful setting!! Reminds me of a mini version of the Grand Canyon.

Incredibly beautiful! Breathtaking

Beautiful beachscape crafted by thousands of years of wind and rain.

Excellent experience seeing the falésias in person and getting to drive the buggy on the beach!

If you want a day of admiring natural beauty, take a tour to this place! The natural occuring cliffs offer beautiful pictures, hiking, and exploration. The tour, consisting of a Portuguese speaking guide, takes about 40 minutes and involves walking through a small market area in which they really try to sell you on projects created by the sand. The guide will pose you in many, many, places and take photos at different angles looking for a bigger tip at the end of the tour. If possible, take the dune buggy tour, as it allows you to see even more of the landscape!

Absolutely beautiful.

(Translated by Google) I was with my wife and two daughters on 01/18/25. The service was actually good, however, the waiter recommended a fish with shrimp and lobster (MARISCADA CANOA BEACH for R$220.00), which would easily feed 4 people. I went with his recommendation and chose it. In the end, half of the dish was fish head. I practically went without eating, so my daughters could have lunch, because the portion was tiny. Very small lobster. And the shrimp? There were 3, but those who saw from a distance could see several, because they filled the plate with carrots, precisely to confuse it with the color of the shrimp. (See the photo of the "VEGAN SHRIMP". I complained and said I would post it on social media, but they were wary and gave me a discount of over R$100.00. At least they were honest about that, or just wary. I wouldn't go back. (Original) Estava com esposa e duas filhas no dia 18/01/25. O atendimento foi até bom, porém, o garçom indicou um peixe com camarão e lagosta( MARISCADA CANOA BEACH por R$ 220,00), que daria tranquilamente para 4 pessoas. Fui pela indicação dele e escolhi. No final, a metade do prato era cabeça de peixe. Praticamente fiquei sem comer, para minhas filhas almoçarem, pois a porção era minúscula. Lagosta bem pequena. E o camarão? vieram 3, mas quem via de longe notavam vários, pois encheram o prato de cenoura, justamente para confundir com a cor do camarão.(segue a foto do "CAMARÃO VEGANO" Reclamei e falei que postaria em rede social, quando ficaram com receio e me deram um desconto de mais de R$ 100,00. Ao menos nisso foram honestos, ou apenas receosos. Não retornaria.

(Translated by Google) Beach shack with normal service like any other... It took a while to bring the soup and in the end they brought the wrong one. (Original) barraca de praia com atendimento normal como outra qualquer... Demorou um pouquinho pra trazer um caldo e no fim trouxe errado.

(Translated by Google) Ponta Grossa Beach in Icapuí is a great option for those who like more secluded/calmer beaches. The place is beautiful and has an incredible sunset over the dunes! At the restaurant located very close to the beach, you can take a buggy and quad bike ride. The buggy ride includes several beaches in the region and is a two-hour ride, ending at the dunes; the ride costs on average 200/250 reais (payments accepted in cash and by debit/credit card). The company I used for the tour was Canaã Turismo and the buggy driver was very attentive. (Original) A praia de ponta grossa em Icapuí é uma ótima opção para quem gosta de praias mais reservadas/mais calmas. O lugar é lindo e tem um pôr do sol nas dunas que é incrível! No restaurante que se localiza bem próximo a praia tem a opção de passeio de Buggy e de quadriciclo. O passeio de Buggy contempla várias praia da região e são mais de duas horas de passeio, finalizando nas dunas; o passeio custa em média 200/250 reais( Aceita pagamentos a vista e no cartão de débito/crédito). A empresa que fiz o passeio foi a Canaã Turismo e o motorista do Buggy foi super atencioso.

(Translated by Google) There are natural pools, but with rocks, a good walk with beautiful landscapes, a lot of seaweed on the beach can be smelly, but only for a short space before Ponta Grossa beach. It is best to take a buggy ride for up to 3 hours in the morning, and if the tide is low you can go along the beach. There is no place near the beach with infrastructure that offers shops, restaurants, swimming pools... (Original) Tem piscinas naturais, porém com pedras, bom passeio com belas paisagens, muitas algas na praia podem ter mau cheiro, mas apenas por um pequeno espaço antes da praia de Ponta Grossa. Melhor fazer passeio de Buggy por até 3 horas durante a manhã, e se estiver com maré baixa dá pra ir pela beira das praias. Não tem local próximo da praia com infraestrutura que ofereça lojinhas, restaurante, piscina...

(Translated by Google) Ponta Grossa Beach in Icapuí, a beautiful natural cliff that will leave you speechless. There is no infrastructure for beach huts, so the beach is calm, especially at sunset. In the morning, there are some people selling drinks and snacks; the shrimp barbecue is delicious! A great beach for taking pictures, thanks to its landscape. (Original) Praia de Ponta Grossa em Icapuí, uma beleza de falésias naturais de nos deixar boquiabertos. Não há infraestrutura de barracas por isso a praia é calma principalmente no período do por do sol. Pela manhã existe algumas pessoas vendendo bebidas e petiscos, o churrasquinho de camarão é delicioso! ótima praia para fotografar, graça a sua paisagem.

(Translated by Google) A place with lush nature, where you can see everything from dunes to the seashore, cliffs, reefs and the view provided by the movement of the tides. When the tide is low, if you head to the right, you can access Redonda beach. In Ponta Grossa, you have options for restaurants, accommodation, buggy rides, quad bike rides and more. I had the opportunity to have lunch, and the fish was very well served and at a fair price. A very good place to spend a weekend. (Original) Um local com a natureza exuberante, onde você pode observar desde dunas a beira mar, falésias, recifes e o visual proporcionado pelo movimento das marés. Quando a maré está baixa, se seguimos para a direita, conseguimos acessar a praia da Redonda. Em Ponta Grossa você tem opções de restaurantes, hospedagem, passeio de Buggy, de quadriciclo entre outras coisas. Tive a oportunidade de almoçar, e o peixe era muito bem servido e com o preço justo. Local muito bom para passar um fds.

(Translated by Google) A fantastic place, where nature reveals its fullness! In Ponta Grossa we can experience incredible experiences: trails in the mangroves and dunes, contemplating the manatees, buggy and boat rides and visits to the archaeological collection. In addition, it is imperative to enjoy a relaxing bath in the calm sea. Ponta Grossa has a good lodging and food structure. (Original) Um lugar fantástico, onde a natureza revela sua plenitude!

(Translated by Google) I loved the beach. It's a paradise-like and well-preserved place. There you can find lobster skewers and boat trips that take you to see the fish. Just one thing to keep in mind: Do this trip between 8 and 9 in the morning, because when the tide is high it's not a good trip. You can get hurt because of the corals, you swallow a lot of water and the guides encourage you to do it later, but it's not comfortable or safe for you. I have bruises on both arms and my back because I hurt myself, and I cut my toe. (Original) Amei a praia. Um lugar paradisíaco e preservado. Nela a gente encontra espetiNho de lagosta e passeios de barco onde nos levam p ver os peixinhos. Só uma observação : Façam esse passeio 8..9 hs da manha, pois qdo a maré enche não fica legal o passeio. A gente se machuca, por conta dos corais, a gente engole bastante agua e os guias ficam incentivando a gente a fazê-lo em horários tarde , mas que não fica confortável e seguro p gente. Estou com os dois braços roxos e costa , pois me machuquei, e dedo do Pe cortado.

Beiral is located at the very point of the promontory and offers a superb view. We have gone there for many (20+) years and enjoyed the ambience and food. The service, while friendly enough, was always slow and spotty, but the food was good, especially the broths (caldos). In recent times, the place has deteriorated. They inexplicably decided to take up some of the choicest space up front with a kiddie pool that fills up with screaming children and some scrawny dog roams the premises, begging at tables. Customers are also allowed to bring lap dogs into the restaurant and their incessant yapping is blithely tolerated. The owners need to decide who they wish to serve: Humans or dogs. The place next door has the same view, similar service and food, but is cleaner.

(Translated by Google) At first I thought it was cozy, but I soon realized that the room had a huge crack and the water tank was damaged. I was afraid to sleep there. The food was very EXPENSIVE. I paid 140 reais for a baião with bad fish! The food was expensive and tasteless. The same thing happened at breakfast, even worse because the fruit from the day before was wilted watermelon, sour cream cheese on the table and couscous from the day before... It's not worth it. If you can afford to pay more, go to a better place. I WENT TO REST AND CAME BACK REGRETTING IT...

Horrible delays. I arrived at the ferry boat 2 hours ago and I still waiting for the ferris leave. How difficult can be to run a half hour boat back and forth.

(Translated by Google) From an infrastructure standpoint, it is an essential service that is extremely useful and important for the transportation and integration of the capital and the highways that come from the South, Southeast and Central-West of Brazil. Ferry boats deserve better attention from the government, as well as the services provided. The vessels that were once extremely modern, today require minimal repairs and care. It is worth mentioning that other states in Brazil do not have ferries of this quality and construction, so maintenance would be enough to improve service conditions. Pedestrians and all types of vehicles board with practically no restrictions. (Original) Do ponto de vista de infraestrutura é um serviço essencial extremamente útil e importante para o transporte e integração da Capital e das rodovias que chegam do Sul, Sudeste e Centro-oeste do Brasil. Os Ferry Boats merecem melhor atenção do poder público, bem como os serviços prestados. As embarcações que um dia foram extremamente modernas, hoje precisam de reparos e cuidados mínimos. Vale ressaltar que outros estados do Brasil não possuem Barcas com essa qualidade e construção, então a manutenção já seria suficiente para elevar as condições de atendimento. Embarcam pedestres e todos os tipos de veículos praticamente sem restrições.

(Translated by Google) Terrible public transport service, including the high price charged; it's not worth the money you pay! It takes a long time to board, it's very disorganized and there's no monitoring of the volume of music that some users play! It's a total disincentive to enjoy the beauty of the island and the municipalities of Costa do Dendê, which should have a tourist incentive - something that doesn't exist! 😡 (Original) Péssimo serviço de transporte público, inclusive pelo alto valor cobrado; não vale o que se paga! Demora muito para embarcar, muita desorganização e sem fiscalização da altura do som que alguns usuários colocam para ouvir! Desestímulo total para se curtir as belezas da Ilha e dos municípios da Costa do Dendê, que deveriam ter um incentivo turístico - coisa que não existe! 😡

(Translated by Google) Terminal without good signage. When you get to the entrance, you can hardly tell it's a terminal, because what you see above it is a huge advertisement that looks more like the entrance to a company than the entrance to the terminal. The service is disorganized, and it wasn't busy, I can only imagine what it would be like on weekends and holidays. The bathroom is filthy, dirtier than an old gas station on the side of the road. It's absolutely absurd for the price they charge! How can the government of Bahia not monitor the service provided by this concession? The concessionaire Internacional Travessias is certainly not following the rules of the contract. It's a clear case that privatization will not improve the service if there is no monitoring and follow-up of the contract by the concessionaire!!! (Original) Terminal sem boa sinalização. Ao chegar na entrada quase não se sabe que é terminal, pois o que tem em cima é uma propaganda imensa que mais parece ser a entrada de uma empresa do que a portaria de acesso ao terminal. Desorganizado o serviço e olha que não estava cheio, fico imaginando em finais de semana e feriados. Banheiro imundo, mais sujo que de posto de gasolina velho em beira de estrada. Um verdadeiro absurdo para o preço que cobram! Como pode o Governo da Bahia não fiscalizar o serviço dessa concessão. Com certeza as regras do contrato estão sendo descumpridas pela concessionária Internacional Travessias. Caso claro de que a privatização não melhora o serviço se não houver fiscalização e acompanhamento do contrato pelo cessionário!!!

(Translated by Google) My experience on October 13, 2020 was the worst possible. Outside the terminal there were about 500 people in a line that didn't move, waiting for the boats at their scheduled times, which while I was there were not met at all. Hundreds of families under the scorching sun with no set time to board. I am horrified. It was the first and last time. (Original) Minha experiência em 13 de outubro de 2020 foi a pior possível. O lado de fora da terminal tinha cerca de 500 pessoas em uma fila que não se movia esperando os barcos nos seus horários, que enquanto estive ali não foram cumpridos nenhum dos previstos. Centenas de famílias baixo um sol escaldante sem hora certa para embarcar. Estou horrorizada. Foi primeira e ultima vez.

(Translated by Google) It takes too long for the amount of people and vehicles required. (Original) Demora demais para o quantitativo de demanda de pessoas e veículos.

If you are looking for a peaceful place to be grateful for your life, that's the place where you can get your blessings.

It is the most famous of the Catholic churches of Salvador, in the State of Bahia, Brazil. It was built in the 18th century. Fitinha do Senhor do Bonfim is a souvenir and popular amulet that can be found being sold by street vendors around the Church. Go there early before midday and do not forget to buy your bracelets

Visited the Basilica this morning. There were not many people and parking was not that difficult. By about 1030 Hrs, the place was filling as the mass had started at 1030 Hrs. There was no ticket to purchase but you could donate any amount you want to.

A must see during your visit to Salvador. A beautiful cathedral that captures the heart and soul of one of the oldest cities established in the new world. It’s local custom to tie ribbons at the gate in front of the church and say a prayer to the Holy Savior of the Bay of all Saints. Inside the cathedral and deep rooted in the Afro-Brazillian Candomblé traditions and the Catholic Ex-Voto, the afflicted offer wax casts in body parts to Saints as thanks or hope of healing them.

The church is beautiful and full with the visitors but should be careful about the guy at the parking lot along the street they are asking for 20 reais for every car.

Beautiful church carrying a lot of history. There was service when we arrived and it was crowded but we found seats and could enjoy the amazing interior of the church whilst praying. Be aware about parking and souvenir prices, street vendors try to make money on unadvised tourists.

Good vibe to get your blessings. Given the importance in Brazil you would expect a grand church. It is, however relatively small and simple, but never the less impressive for its significance for the faithful in Brazil. Great photo opportunities with the colourful Senhor do Bonfim ribbons tied to the church gate.

It is a very nice beach even though it has lots of rocks along the shore.

Great beach, not so crowded, with fun waves. Recommended visit when in Salvador.

Such a nice beach, tropical. Many restaurant close by and seemed pretty safe. Only the water is not that clean due to a lot of sea plants.

A very nice and clean beach

Definitely worth the 45min drive, this beach is amazing. Food and drinks available directly at the beach, as well as restaurants with super clean toilets. Plenty of Uber cars to go back to Salvador.

There is an amazing place, to enjoy the sun of Bahia, food on the beach, very tasty traditional and organic food, natural juices fruits squized a front of you, no additives no E chemicals. Just to be careful that some stones in the water, just avoid them.

Best beach in Salvador in my opinion! Variety of stalls, trendy bars, clean, hot water, great waterfront ... A great option for all audiences. I paid 10 reais on an umbrella, and drank beer worth 8 on average, water costs around 4 reais, cheap snacks. Worth the trip. Beautiful beach, twenty-six miles from the center of Salvador, with an extensive strip of sand, therefore, in several points, quite deserted, even in high season. Located in a quiet neighborhood next to Stella Maris and Itapuã, but with plenty of services such as restaurants, markets, cafeterias and a shop that serves very well for everyday needs. Great place to relax with the family.

Traditional port in Salvador. Lots of little shops to buy useless memorabilia for your house, family and friends. Beautiful view of the port and sunset from the second floor restaurant/bar - makes it worth the trip.

Beautiful building and market by the marina. It’s worth a visit to browse through some souvenirs, however, little to no local and artisanal handicrafts. Also the vendors are quite pushy which ruined the shopping experience a little. In my opinion, there are other local vendors and artisanal shops around the city that offer better and unique handicrafts.

Surprise experience that turned out to be the highlight of my day in the area. Amazing visual experience. Totally worth the short wait on the day I visited.

Very touristy and a lot of stalls which sell exactly the same items. Nothing wow! Very nice terrace.

This is indeed one of the greatest and most know trademarks for anyone visiting Salvador for the first time. Currently, the market is passing by a renovation so its split in two different sections. But both have basically the same kind of products available. At first, I've thought this would be similar to São Paulo's Municipal Market; however, here you will find just two or three options of restaurants with most of the other places taken by souvenirs stores. It can be a great place if you're looking for this type of store but be attentive of the prices - you can similar items for huge price variance. Tip: things here are cheaper than most of the stores of Pelourinho. Extra tip: though the market itself may not be what you're expecting take the opportunity to visit the marine located a few steps of it. The view is stunning and a good place for nice photos.

Very busy market close to the cruise ship pier. Just a 5 minute walk. Definitely must see the underground museum for a small fee.

Popular market featuring 250+ shops selling a variety of arts, crafts & souvenirs, plus restaurants. Mercado Modelo has bars, cafeterias and canteens. With 8,410 square meters and two floors, with gifts and souvenirs from Bahia The Mercado Modelo arose out of the need for a supply center in the Lower City of Salvador. Between the old Customs House building and Largo da Conceição, it was a commercial center where it was possible to acquire items as varied as fruit and vegetables, cereals, animals, cigars, cachaças, and Candomblé articles. Thus, the market was inaugurated on February 2, 1912[1] in a building next to the old Customs House building, which had been built in 1860 and inaugurated in 1861.[3] The market's supply was served by the ramp that bears its name, former port of the schooners that crossed the Bay of All Saints.

beautiful beach. perhaps my favorite

Best beach in Salvador! Perfect for early morning stroll, run or swim all year round!

The City around the elevator is dangerous. The elevator looks good, but it's not spectacular to use.

A tourist attraction with a lot of history. ⭐ The elevator is very fast and takes you to the upper city in a few seconds ⭐ We did not pay an entrance fee and did not have to wait in a queue ⭐ Nothing else to say or to do. Very straightforward. It is an elevator after all. But fun nonetheless! Also, prices for souvenirs in the upper city are cheaper than at Mercado Modelo!

Lacerda Elevator was the first urban elevator in the world when it opened on December 8, 1873 the 63 meters tall elevator takes you from lower town to upper town. A major tourist attractions and photo spot of Salvador. Great views of the bay and the governors palace.

Beware of people who try to sell souvenirs and paint your body. They pretend it’s a freebie but will try to get as much as they can from you. Another advice, do not wear gold necklaces and such. Large groups or maybe with a guide is safer.

The history behind the construction is interesting, however it’s not a great place to go. Going up and down costs R$0,15 per visitor and the elevator is too crowded, hot as hell and smells sweat. Great view up there though.

It's very cheap at only R$0.15, and conveniently located. It facilitates a 10 minute walk from the ferry to Pelourinho or from Pelourinho to the market. There may be a bit of a line depending on the time of day that you visit. Can also get a bit hot during the day. There are stunning views from the top, a very popular photo op spot, as well as a famous ice cream shop help you beat the heat. Can't miss it on a visit to Salvador and I definitely recommend taking it at least once.

Better one to dine in. Beautiful ambient. Sitting area overlooking sun set and Mercado Modelo. It is right at exit of the upper level of Elevator. Best time to have ice cream is during sun set

If you like to enjoy life, this beach is the place for you!! Music, alcohol, food, friends, love, happiness etc etc

Nice beach but noisy and too many hawkers trying to sell you various kinds of items. I'd stay away from here and rather go to Rio Vermelho beach.

This is an amazing beach. In weekends they shirt down the street for people to explore the local community that does shows and performance. You will have everything you need with in a 2 min walk. You can rent chair and umbrella and order a bucket of beer with out leavening the sand. There are tons of stree venders with foods, drinks and stuff. As you travel please always be aware of the area your in. Do not take your valuables and leave them on the beach unattended.

Beautiful beach, clean, but a bit crowded, specially on high season you could hardly find a spot, since it is not that big.

A wonderful & magical place. The scenery is beautiful and the people are colorful. At the end of the day, a cold beer and a well made Acaraje, standing along the wall of the beach front watching the sunset is a scene that bring tranquility and peace.

Great water! Nice place to hang out avoid weekend cause it gets crowded and people smoking weed made me sick!

Its a nice enough beach. Quite small but i saw alot of people there. Its also quite neat and the water is clean enough.

Must stay in this area very happening and lively neighbourhood. Good food options not much option for vegetarians, feels save due to police nearby. Beach is amazing you can go anytime you want. Rentals bicycle and mini scooters wil be available.

The place is very beautiful. Once inside, everything is clean, the view is stunning, and you feel safe. However, the place should have security for tourists. The vendors outside, desperate for your money like hungry hyenas, made the experience unpleasant. They tried to paint us with their products and wouldn’t take “no” for an answer. It was truly a horrible experience. Therefore, I give the place a 2 out of 5.

I love this place! It’s stunning, good for a walk and talk. I just take care always because one time someone tried to stolen my neckless and hurted me. Hopefully my friends could stop the guy and the drivers around helped as well.

Well, it’s a simple lighthouse but when the sun is setting, you are gonna enjoy the view and obviously by walking on the same boulevard you get plenty of things to eat and it’s nice

Beautiful place! Historical and very famous in carnival days!

I recommend taking Acarajé and seeing the sunset at Farol da Barra.

The Barra's Lighthouse is a postcard of Salvador City, at beach with the same name , is the oldest in Brazil but is in a great conservation status. The visit worth cause the historical value, the beautiful neighborhood and the stunning views when you climb until the top! At the building of the old fort, we visited the museum that explain the History of the Lighthouse since the 16th Century and an interesting pictures exposition.
