MORRO DE SAO PAULO HOLIDAYS

Morro de Sao Paulo is a small island situated off the southern coast of Salvador. Remotely perched at the northern tip of Ilha de Tinhare, Morro’s appeal stems from its relaxed pace (there are no cars on the island) and its unique geography: three jungle-topped hills on a point at the meeting of the mangrove-lined Canal de Taperoa and a clear, shallow Atlantic.
Wheelbarrows are used to transfer luggage and horse drawn carts transfer passengers along sandy lanes, past pousadas, restaurants and boutique shops. The waters that surround Morro de Sao Paulo’s four conveniently named main beaches (named: one, two, three and four!) are mostly calm, shallow and warm, and their sands are narrow and swallowed by the high tides.
