About Corumbau – Bahia
Corumbau is one of the most preserved destinations on the Brazilian coast. The name, of Tupi origin, means "far from everything"—and this feeling is part of the local charm. Situated between the sea and areas of native forest, the village offers extensive beaches, warm and crystal-clear waters, gastronomy based on fresh seafood, and a tranquil atmosphere, perfect for those who want to slow down.
The Corumbau Extractive Reserve is a true natural paradise, where calm waters meet coral reefs that form natural pools perfect for snorkeling, relaxing, and simply contemplating the surrounding beauty.
One of the most enchanting places in the region is the famous Ponta do Corumbau—an immense white sandbank that emerges at low tide and extends into the sea, creating an unforgettable landscape. Walking there, with the sea on both sides and the endless horizon, is an experience that stays in your memory.
During the winter months, nature's spectacle attracts special visitors: humpback whales cross the coast of Corumbau and can be observed on exciting boat trips, a unique encounter that delights adults and children alike.
All this natural richness is part of the Abrolhos Bank, one of the most important marine areas in the country, responsible for the preservation of reefs, marine species, and unique coastal ecosystems.
And the experience goes beyond the beaches. Nearby are the Pataxó village of Barra Velha, Caraíva, and the charming Barra do Cahy — destinations full of culture, history, gastronomy, and surprising landscapes.
Corumbau is an invitation to experience lighthearted days, disconnect from the rush, and reconnect with the sea and nature.
