...a village with no cars, an island where there are Workaway: low crime rate and no worries. A place with an intense nightlife and paradisaical beaches. You will find that in Morro de Sao Paulo, located in the Tinharé island, just about 60 kilometers south of Salvador, Bahia. To get there you must travel 2,5 hours by catamaran boat .
Some of the beaches of Morro de Sao Paulo are named due to their order in the coast. The First Beach is very close to the village and become very popular between the villagers. The Second Beach is all about partying. There are people playing capoeira, frescobol and soccer during the day and having party all night long. In the Third Beach you can take a boat to visit neighbor islands. The Fourth Beach is very peaceful, quite like the Gamboa Beach. It is also surrounded by ecological paradises:
