Maraú Peninsula

Beaches as far as
the eye can see

The Peninsula is a place you won’t be able to forget easily. Get ready for this discovery.

Located in the central part of the coast of Bahia, which separates the Camamu Bay from the Atlantic Ocean. Located on Cocoa Coast, it is 90 km from Ilhéus.

With about 40 km long on a dirt road, the Peninsula is formed by a sequence of villages and beautiful beaches in a region that combines the exuberant nature of the Atlantic Forest, still preserved with mangroves, lagoons, rivers, waterfalls, and paradisiacal islands surrounded by the crystalline and warm waters of the sea of Bahia.

Taipu de Fora, elected one of the most beautiful beaches in Brazil

Taipu de Fora and its natural ocean pools are the main attractions of the Peninsula.  A large coral reef close to the beach creates a barrier to the sea water, forming natural pools of crystal clear, warm waters and full of fishes of all colors.

During the full and new moon phases, the minimum tide level can be close to zero, making diving in the pools an unique experience.
