Praia do Forte Experience

Praia do Forte é uma praia de luxo na Bahia. Era uma vila de pescadores, mas foi convertida em uma atração turística e um centro de conservação ambiental. Andando pela rua principal, Alameda do Sol, você vai encontrar uma programação de boutiques agradáveis e restaurantes. A rua irá levá-lo a uma pequena igreja, um projeto de conservação de tartarugas e lindas praias de areia branca cercadas por palmeiras. A aldeia é cercada por ruínas de castelos antigos, uma lagoa, que é excelente para canoagem e a reserva florestal de Sapiranga. A floresta, que tem uma tirolesa e trilhas para caminhadas e ciclismo, é um deleite para os entusiastas do esporte ao ar livre e amantes da natureza.

The castle, which is now in ruins, was one of the first large buildings during the Portuguese colonization era. Its history dates back to 1552, when the king of Portugal, desperate to control this territory, started granting lands to important people. Due to sheer luck, Garcia d'Avila, a small farmer, was given a tract of land with Praia do Forte as its base and extending inland till the state of Maranhao. This made him the biggest landowner in the Northeast, overnight. Garcia constructed his house on a plot with an ocean view and dotted with palm trees. The site is about seven kilometers from the town and there is a sign to show you the way. If you don't like walking or cycling that far, you can take a taxi.

Portomar takes you on exciting local tours and activities. You have excellent options if you enjoy birdwatching, quad-bike riding, kayaking, canopy tours or whale-watching (seasonal). You can also snorkel and scuba dive and get a close view of the colorful coral reefs in the natural pools, which form on the beaches during low tide.
