From the most lively with axé booming from the speakers in the tents and people bumping into each other on the sand in high season to the most peaceful and semi-deserted, far from the city center.
These are the beaches of Porto Seguro: for all tastes, styles and purposes. It is possible to have fun on the beaches of Taperapuã, Mundaí and Itacemirim or find calm and rest in Curuípe, Rio dos Mangues, Ponta Grande and Mutá. Banana boat, ultralight, speedboat, boat and kayak trips can also be practiced, as well as walks on the long stretches of sand.
Taperapuã
The most popular beach in Porto Seguro, Taperapuã is surrounded by inns and beach huts. To enjoy the hustle and bustle of the day, the beach hosts shows and loud music all day long.

This beach is closer to the center, about 4 km away. It also tends to be a busy destination with lots of kiosks and people vying for space on the sand in high season. Some huge coconut trees provide shade to the relief of tourists. Here, the tents also play loud music all day long, especially axé. More tranquility can be found in kiosks further away from the hustle and bustle that play blues and rock for more refined tastes.
