Porto da Barra

Local namePraia do Porto da Barra
LocationSalvador, Brazil

Porto da Barra Beach is located in Barra neighborhood in the city of Salvador, Brazil. It is located at the entrance of the Baía de Todos os Santos, with a small, white colonial fort at one end and a whitewashed church sitting up on a hill at the other.

As the beach is in a bay, the water is calm. And in a country with over 7,000 km of east-facing coastline, the Porto is one of the few facing west, and sunsets can be seen from there.Porto da Barra was the site of Bahia's first European settlement, Vila Velha, or the Old Village. During the 1960s it was a hangout for Tropicalistas Caetano Veloso and Gilberto Gil and their crowd.
