Beaches
Praia Ponta da Areia (2km north of Bom Despacho) is a thin strip of sand with clear, shallow water, and with barracas serving good seafood. Praia da Penha (10km south of Bom Despacho) has excellent views of Salvador. Praia Barra Grande (7km further south) is Itaparica's finest public beach with clear water and weekend homes, and lies in front of its namesake village. Bahians, who love a beach with lots of people on it, consider Praia Cacha Pregos (20km further south) the island's best.
