Arraial by day: Beaches of Arraial d'Ajuda
The beaches of Arraial d'Ajuda are divided into two distinct types of landscape: towards the north, between the beaches of Mucugê and Apaga Fogo(on the border with the Buranhem River and Porto Seguro) are the beaches with barrier reefs and good coconut trees for water sports, from Pitinga and even Taípe(almost arriving to Trancoso) instead, what predominates are the beaches with high reddish cliffs and higher waves; in this strip of the southern coast of Bahia and especially in Pitinga, from the highest cliffs the practice of Parapente is very popular.
