Itacare Beaches
Pristine and Inviting!

Itacaré or Itacare beaches are some of the most pristine beaches in Brazil! Itacare is a small town in the state of Bahia in Brazil. Dutch and Portuguese pirates made this beautiful area their place of hiding during its early colonial days.

A sleepy fishing village a number of years ago, Itacare has become a town which depends mostly upon tourism. Itacare beaches offer some of the best surfing in Brazil. The surrounding area is also great for hiking and ecotourism. Praia da Concha is the most popular beach in town and where most of the hotels or pousadas are located.

This spot is great evening location to meet up with friends to listen to music and dance during the summer season. This sleepy little resort town is flooded with revelers during New Year's and Carnival.
Its surrounding area has beautiful, small, cove type beaches and other picturesque beaches that other Brazilian towns can only dream of.

The coastline near Itacaré is a series of beaches and hills with beautiful palms and tropical forest. The region is a perfect setting for eco-adventures white-water rafting, biking, kayaking.
