Beach description
People get to the beach in the La Paz department area by public transport - by bus, or by taxi from the international airport in Salvador. A rather vast area with a sandy beach of predominantly gray hues and the same sea bottom. Due to the developed coastal infrastructure, the beach is visited by absolutely all categories of tourists. A large amount of entertainment makes the beach popular at any time of the year:
- · beach football or volleyball;
- · sunbathing and tanning;
- · horse riding;
- · fishing;
- · mangrove canal journey;
- · romantic sunset evening by the Pacific ocean;
- · gastronomic restaurant excursions with local seafood specialties.
The period from November to mid-April is considered to be a high season for water sports here, then the rainy season begins. If this does not significantly affect the temperature of water and air (always approximately the same indicators), then to go speeding on a launch, rent a water ski, or go on an expedition to get marlinous fish species is better in October and the beginning of the winter season. A little later (March) on the beach competitions among sailing ships are arranged. Merried couples could demonstrate to their children whole flocks of migratory birds: herons, gulls and ducks, as well as numerous inhabitants of the water world, mammals and reptiles, because the mangrove thicket is a real paradise for young naturalists.
When is the best time to go?
From May to October, in Salvador, there are heavy rains, after which the most climatically favorable period for visiting the country begins - from November to April. It should be borne in mind that in late December - early January, resorts are filled with vacationers who come to celebrate Christmas and New Year (mainly by Americans), which affects prices.
