Porto da Barra Beach is located in Salvador, Brazil, at the entrance of the Baía de Todos os Santos, with a small, white colonial fort at one end and a whitewashed church sitting up on a hill at the other. It was the site of Bahia's first European settlement and is very popular with locals for its beautiful sunsets and the possibility to jump from the docks. Kids spend the whole afternoon jumping, diving and laughing. I would have stayed picturing them forever.
