Stella Maris Beach

Praia de Stella Maris is a stretch of Salvador's shoreline known among surfers for the strong waves that break there. The movement is not limited to daylight hours: the beach is also busy at night.

Behind the sand there are coconut palms, and along it the barracas, the beach kiosks that set the relaxed tone of the place and serve both those staying all day and those dropping by for a few hours. Getting there and enjoying it takes little physical effort, which keeps the beach open to very different kinds of visitors.

Stella Maris is in the municipality of Salvador, in the Salvador microregion and immediate region. Anyone in the city will find other Salvador highlights in the Vivai catalogue, such as Pelourinho, the Igreja de São Francisco, Praia do Flamengo and Baía de Todos os Santos.
