Things to do in Imbassai:
• TAMAR Sea turtle project. The beaches of Bahia are well-known as a
breeding area for sea turtles. In order to save the sea turtles from
extinction, the TAMAR project was created, with its main facility in Praia
do Forte (8 km from Imbassaí), where sea turtles of all shape and
sizes can be seen.
• Bird watching. The region has a wide variety of virgin nature with
marshes, dunes and woods. Accompanied by a guide, it is truly a bird
watcher's paradise.
• Whale watching. The whales have returned to the beaches of this part of
Bahia, and can be seen at close range from a boat. From July till November.
• The Sapiranga nature reserve. Just a few miles from the Imbassia you'll
find a unique nature reserve, where the historical García d'Avila Castle is
also worth visiting.
• Rafting. For several miles, the Imbassaí River runs parallel to the beach.
From a canoe, you can enjoy a fabulous view of the landscape on both sides.
• Horseback riding. You can ride through extensive dunes to a picturesque
village of fishermen and artisans, savor a delicious seafood meal, and
return to Imbassaí over wide virgin beaches.
• Beach walking. On the beaches of Imbassaí, with their fine white sand, you
can still walk north or south for hours without seeing anybody.
• Capoeira. Imbassaí has its own Capoeira academy, where you can learn more
about this local cultural phenomenon, the African slave heritage. If you
like, you can even take a course.
• Visits to Salvador.
• For experienced surfers or beginners who might want to take a course
with a professional instructor.
• Diving. Both in Imbassaí and neighbouring Praia do Forte.
• Fishing. Go fishing on a quiet lonely tropic beach and return with fresh
fish, isn't that every fisherman's dream?
