Porto da Barra
Found in a cove of calm and clean water, this historic and picturesque location witnessed the arrival of our city's founder, Tomé de Souza. Today, Porto da Barra's true cosmopolitan ambience and beautiful beach attracts visitors far and wide. Here you can relax and catch up on Barra's lively beach scene.

Farol da Barra
As the first lighthouse to have been constructed in the Americas, the Farol da Barra is a striking centerpoint in Barra's landscape and history. Offering picture-postcard views, this area is perfect for sun lovers and surfers. Inside the Farol, visitors can learn more about Salvador's past in the museum, and enjoy the magnificent views of Barra and the Baía de Todos os Santos from the café and restaurants terrace.

Ondina
With its sports complex and rock-scupted natural pools, the beach is an excellent choice for fun and leisure for visitors of any age. Ondina boasts of some of the best hotels and 200 fine restaurants. It's little wonder, then, why the governor's official residece is located in this very neighborhood.
