Morro de São Paulo
Quatre jours juste après le carnaval de Salvador, février 2018. Traversée en catamaran depuis la ville — puis l’île : Segunda et Quarta Praia, Gamboa, et la boat party qui part du ponton.

Four days after the MP and the crowd. The village is sand alleys, pousadas, and music that is still Bahian but at human volume. A good place to sleep again.

Segunda Praia
Visité: 15 févr. 2018
Comment j’y suis allé: À pied — Walked from the village over the headland to the second beach.

The beach you come for: warm water, a wide arc, and the days stretching. After Salvador this is the point of the island.
- Loisirs
Quarta Praia
Visité: 16 févr. 2018
Comment j’y suis allé: À pied — Walked on from Segunda along the beaches — the fourth is quieter and further out.

The wide, quieter beach at the end of the chain. Fewer bars than Segunda, more water and space. Worth the walk or the tractor-taxi if the sun is high.
- Autre
Boat party from the pier
Visité: 16 févr. 2018
Comment j’y suis allé: Bateau — Leaves from the pier at Primeira Praia — you buy the ticket in the village and board there.

The island's floating circuit: a boat out from the pier, music, and the bay at sunset. After Salvador carnival it feels small and friendly — still a party, just one you can leave.
- Loisirs
Gamboa
Visité: 17 févr. 2018
Comment j’y suis allé: Bateau — Boat or the trail over to Gamboa, on the other side of the island.

A calmer village and beach than Morro itself — fishing boats, shallower water, a different pace. A good half-day away from Segunda.
