Itacimirim Beach

The beach of Itacimirim is great for baths and his name was given by the Indians: according to some people, Itacimirim means "little ant", as other means "small stone", finally, what we can conclude is that it was a name given by Indians, and that the name itacimirim mean exactly? In my opinion, Itacimirim means a beautiful beach, near the international airport of Salvador (48Km), also near the Praia do Forte (7Km), where you can have peace and tranquility, and still can enjoy the great nights in Praia do Forte (and pay much less than if pay in hosting in Praia do Forte).



Itacimirim is a small paradise with charming beaches and inlets of the North Coast of Bahia.
