Morro de Sao Paulo

...a village with no cars, an island where there are no banks and no worries. A place with an intense nightlife and paradisaical beaches. You will find that in Morro de Sao Paulo, located in the Tinharé island, just about 60 kilometers south of Salvador, Bahia. To get there you must travel 2 hours by catamaran boat or take an air-taxi, a small plane with capacity for about 6 people.

Some of the beaches of Morro de Sao Paulo are named due to their order in the coast. The First Beach is very close to the village and become very popular between the villagers. The Second Beach is all about partying. There are people playing capoeira, frescobol and soccer during the day and having party all night long.

Visitors must pay an 'island preservation tax' of R$ 15 upon arrival, regardless of how long they plan to stay in Morro de Sao Paulo. Funds are used primarily for waste disposal. When leaving the island there is a R$ 0.62 tax at the port, unrelated to the preservation tax. This tax is due to use the docks and it is also collected at Gamboa, Atracadouro and Valença ports.
