This Beach is a wonderful point to enjoy the sunset, have a beer and taste the local fritters acarajé, a cake similar to a falafel, made of black eye peas, shrimp and nuts . Every day is a different scene and sky collors. An additional feature is the statue of the couple Zélia and Jorge Amado with their dog. The square, sunset and the writers make it even more a fictional scene. Enjoy it!

We walked or jogged by this shore daily during our visit in Salvador. We got to see quiet mornings, hot middays and busy nightfalls.

Praia do Rio Vermelho has a very important milestone in its history, however... nowadays, it is full of homeless people's piss and fish! There's a house in Iemanjá, which could be clean and well looked after, but... it's very dirty too... everything is left to God! A great shame.

The water is dirty as a big sewer goes direct to the ocean. It has a horrible smell even though Rio vermelho area is full of other attractions - more cutural. I would never recommend to go to this beach and spend time over there.

This is nice neighborhood of Salvador and is worth a visit in the evening. It has nice square (Santana), with restaurants/bars
where you can relax with a beer or caipirinha and watch sunset. Simply Superb.

arvind1000, thank you for your words, Rio Vermelho is one of the most beloved neighborhoods in the city, with many attractions, a neighborhood to be discovered.

The Praia do Rio Vermelho beach is another beach in Salvador. Not as popular as the other beaches, it is an area with good social activity - bars, cafes, restaurants and music.

I loved it here. It's where the river turns into the ocean. it's a nice walk to get there. the cutest part was the beach shack selling beer and fried food. i think it's called barraca por do sol. the owners were friendly and got us drunk. what's not to like.

hola! buen dia! voy a estar hospedandome en rio vermelho en abril. estuve leyendo los comentarios y, por lo que parece, las playas cercanas no son las mejores para bañarse. que playas cercanas recomiendan para bañarse? con respecto al transporte, que tan facil es llegar a ellas? desde ya muchas gracias! un beso!
Written March 4, 2017
La playas para estar sin problemas de contaminación son las Praia do forte, y si hay algunas combis que te llevan, otras más cerca son las de la barra y el faro dependiendo de donde sopla el viento. , lado opuesto Itapuá donde podes lograr algo mas de profundidad y declive en la playa. Si podes no dudes en ir a Isla dos frades. lo mejor para pasar el día......

A praia do Rio Vermelho mudou muito em relação á venda de bebidas,lanches,foram retirados os quiosques, mas por outro lado estão presentes neste lugar maravilhoso, ótimos restaurantes.

Algumas praias de Salvador devem ser evitadas por conta da poluição. A praia do Rio Vermelho é uma delas. É bonita de ver, registrar fotos mas, banho infelizmente não dá. Embora algumas pessoas ignorem os riscos. Aconselho que visite o site do Inema e lá você encontrará informações sobre as praias próprias e impróprias para banho em Salvador e região metropolitana.
