Start a conversation Request this experience

Overview

Castelhanos is on the most isolated tip of the island — long beach, natural pools that only appear when the tide goes low enough to reveal the corals, and a detail that few destinations in Brazil offer: the wreckage of a ship sunk in 1530, still visible in the shallow waters. It's a tour for those who have already seen the beaches closest to Boipeba and want to go further.

The experience

The boat travels along the coast to the point where Castelhanos is located — the distance from the other beaches on the island is what keeps the place emptier and quieter. At low tide, coral pools form between the rocks, and it is possible to swim over the remains of the 1530 shipwreck, one of the few colonial remains visible on the Bahian coast. On the sand, simple stalls serve local food — the caipirinha served inside the cocoa itself is a detail worth trying.

Destaques

  • Natural coral pools, formed at low tide
  • Shipwreck from 1530, visible in shallow waters
  • Most isolated and least frequented beach in the archipelago
  • Local stalls on the sand, with regional dishes

The furthest and quietest beach on Boipeba's itinerary — reserve the whole day if you want to enjoy it without rushing.
