Barra Grande

Located on the Maraú Peninsula, between Itacaré and Morro de São Paulo, Barra Grande is a small isolated tropical village, accessible only by track or boat. Here, nature reigns supreme: coconut trees as far as the eye can see, turquoise waters, freshwater lagoons, and coral reefs forming natural pools at low tide. The main kitesurfing spot, Taipu de Fora, is a few kilometers south of the village. It’s a spectacular spot, both a powerful beach break and a crystal-clear natural pool depending on the tide. The scenery is unreal: white sand, amber-colored reefs, giant coconut trees, and tropical silence interrupted only by the wind and waves. Taipu de Fora is the paradise for nature lovers and pure sliding. It is not a school spot, but rather a playground for experienced riders looking for sessions in a pristine and vibrant environment. The contrast between the deep blue of the open sea and the translucent green of the coral pools gives each session an almost magical dimension.
