Praia do Prado

Praia do Prado is a sheltered anchorage off a well-equipped beach town on Brazil's Bahia coast, where you can drop the hook and dinghy ashore to explore a string of nearby beaches including Ponta do Corumbau and Cumuruxatiba. The area has a laid-back coastal feel with decent local infrastructure — think beach restaurants, pousadas, and enough amenities to restock without much hassle.
