Morro de São Paulo

Boasting postcard-pretty beaches and a lively town set amongst lush coastal jungle, Morro de São Paulo has long been a favorite weekend getaway for travelers and Salvador locals alike. Though Morro is overtly touristy, many visitors don’t care, since it’s also a fabulous tropical paradise with sandy lanes, calm waters and a candlelit nightlife scene.
