Dendê Coast
Located between the mouth of Jaguaripe River and Camamu Bay, the Dendê
Coast is a true mosaic of beaches, bays, mangroves, rocky walls, sand
banks, springs, lagoons, rivers, waterfalls and estuaries. Its 115 km
of seashore comprehend Valença, Morro de São Paulo, Boipeba, Igrapiúna,
Cairu, Camamu, Taperoá, Nilo Peçanha, Ituberá and Maraú.
The
untouched beaches of limpid and warm waters, with different formations
of coral reefs and framed by vast coconut groves, are among the best in
the country. The fluvial archipelago of Una River shelters a variety of
paradisiacal islands - Tinharé, Boipeba, Cairu. The dazzling Camamu Bay
opens up in ten unexplored islands with primitive vegetation and
coconut trees. The endless mangroves work as a nursery for many kinds
of fish, crabs, shrimps and oysters. An extensive counter coast of
placid waters is ideal for sailing, diving and fishing.
The
impressive waterfalls are the right location for extreme sports.
Environmental Protection Areas preserve a rich fauna and flora. The
abundance of dendê trees, spice that gives a peculiar flavor to Bahia’s
cuisine, gives the final touch to the local scenery. In this paradise
of great ecological diversity, nature divides the landscape with a rich
historical heritage of Colonial Brazil. The primitive settlements
preserve their traditional cultural characteristics.
