Praia Flamengo in Salvador da Bahia
Praia Flamengo is located on the breathtaking coastal road Estrada de Côco, which leads from Salvador to Praia do Forte.

Boa Viagem Beach in Recife
Located 6km from the city centre, Boa Viagem is considered Recife's house beach. The 7km long sandy beach invites you to stroll and surf.
