Hotels in South Bahia Coastline, Brazil

The South Bahia Coastline stretches along Brazil's northeastern shore, famous for its coconut-fringed beaches and Afro-Brazilian heritage. The climate is tropical and warm year-round, averaging 75°F to 85°F (24°C to 30°C), with dry winters from May to September perfect for surfing at Itacaré's Praia da Tiririca or watching humpback whales near Abrolhos Marine National Park. Rainy summers from October to March are best for exploring historic Porto Seguro-where Brazil was first discovered in 1500-or relaxing in the laid-back fishing villages of Trancoso and Caraíva, each offering live forró music in rustic beach bars.
