The Brazilian coast is blessed with some of the world’s finest beaches.
The North East is home to long stretches of sand backed by coconut groves while the south offers dramatic bays situated amid tropical jungle as well as the charming resort of Buzios, which has an almost Mediterranean feel.
On Brazil's east coast about one and a half hours' drive from the World Heritage City of Salvador, lies the resort of Costa Do Sauipe. The 425 acre eco-friendly resort boasts miles of tropical virgin beaches. Excursions available locally include bird watching, whale watching (available July-October), eco tours, and horseriding. At the heart of the resort is Villa Nova do Praia, a small town designed as an authentic Bahian seaside village complete with cobbled streets, a small church, a few bars and restaurants and a selection of handcraft shops.
