Morro de Sao Paulo
 Morro de Sao Paulo is a small fishing village on the island of Tinhare, off the coast of Bahia state. It has only recently been discovered as a tourist attraction so is still relatively unspoiled. Out of high season it is a calm and relaxing place to spend a few days, or even weeks. The island is famous for its clear waters and beautiful beaches, four in all, which are identified by numbers and are all within walking distance. No cars are allowed on the island, but you can get around using one of the many tractor driven trailers, which run along the beach during the day. Among the island's main activities are diving, windsurfing and fishing. You can also go hiking up through the mountains if you are feeling adventurous. Most of the nightlife is located along the main street, where there are no shortage of bars and restaurants, and there are also regular beach parties at night. There is a permanent flea market at the main square where you can buy souvenirs and gifts. Given its strategic position the island served in the past as a fortress to ward off attacks by French and Dutch pirates. Some remnants of the castles and fortresses still remain, such as Forte de São Paulo, which is open to visitors. There are regular fast and slow boats leaving daily to the island from Valenca (1.5 hours) and Salvador (4 hours).
