Stella Maris Beach

Estella Maris is located north of Salvador de Bahia. It is one of the most beautiful beaches of the city, and it's not very popular with tourists. At night there are concerts, and there are plenty of bars around the place. I recommend the Barraca Barcelona, with a charming Catalan owner. You'll see joggers, fishermen, hawkers, surfers, tourists, capoeira fighters, and many palm trees hypnotising travelers. Before traveling to Brazil, buy sunscreen 30 because here it's hard to find good sunscreen. And be careful not to tread on a crab!
