The beaches of Arraial are already a reference for those who pass through the region. It is impossible to pass by Porto Seguro, which is right next to the village, and resist the beaches of Arraial, full of natural pools, calm, blue waters and colorful cliffs that look like a work of art. Some beaches are lively with tents playing loud music all day long, while others are wild where the only noise you can hear is the swaying of the waves and the rustling of leaves. Each one is worth exploring.
