Praia do Forte is a rustic coastal village in the Bahia state of Brazil situated 80 kilometers from Salvador. Visit Project Tamar, a nonprofit initiative to protect sea turtles from extinction along the Brazilian coastline. Touch turtles and different types of sea animals in the visitor's area and watch young turtles released to the sea. Relax and unwind at the Forte beach or explore the tide pools. Head to the Sapiranga Ecological Reserve, an Atlantic rainforest with different plants and birds located just 5 kilometers from Praia do Forte.
