Prainha Itacaré
Prainha in Itacaré is a versatile spot that offers different experiences depending on the season. In winter, NE swells produce spectacular rights. In summer, the left point comes alive with perfect, tubular waves. This seasonality makes it a spot worth visiting multiple times to experience both personalities of this beautiful Bahian beach.
