Travel Guide Ilha De Bom Jesus Dos Passos

The island of Bom Jesus dos Passos is a place a little out of time, as the slow moving and curious travelers like it. It offers a majestic view with the eponymous church in the background. Its turquoise sea with calm waters is ideal for fishing and water sports. Pontinha and Ponta do Padre are the most pleasant beaches for swimming. This small island, populated by Portuguese descendants, can be reached by the same road that leads to Madre de Deus. You can get there by bus or by car from Salvador. The boat is taken at the maritime terminal of Madre de Deus and the trip takes about 10 minutes and costs R$ 5.
