Praia do Forte, Bahia, Brazil
Praia do Forte is a fisherman village which has in the last few years become one of the most sought after beach destination in Brazil. Part of this is due to the fact that the traditional Bahian village lifestyle has been conserved and that the TAMAR turtle NGO established its operations and Visitor Center here. The TAMAR project helps research and preserve sea turtles, 6 of the existing 7 species in the world lay their eggs in these sands. This village takes its name from the castle of Garcia D´Ávila, a Portuguese settler who founded the first farm in Brazil on the land adjacent to the Praia do Forte. It is believed that Garcia D´Ávila was the first colonist to bring cattle, mango and coconut trees to Brazil. If you decide to take a break from the beach, the village main strip has many restaurants, sidewalk cafes, bars, and Bahian artisan and handcraft shops to offer.
