I went to Trancoso for the last few days of Carnival. Coqueiros Beach is very pretty, the water was warm and calm, and the weather was great, but the bars located along the beach were charging a R$100 (Brazilian currency) minimum consumption fee if you wanted to use their chairs and umbrella. And the prices were really expensive too. We found one bar that didn't charge the minimum fee (Cafe de la Musique), but the music was extremely loud, and the prices were even more expensive. There were horses at the beach, and they left their feces behind, on the beach, it was disgusting. The majority of the people were couples or family with kids.
this is a great beach where local go. I love that there are small spots were one can order fresh coconut juice, beer or caipirinhas at local prices and chat with "Clarisse", the friendly and happy lady who had a small stall by the beach. We feasted on grilled buffalo cheese being sold by another lady, bought ice cream from another vendor while going in and out of the water enjoying our own little place in the beach.
Fiquei numa parte da praia muito bonita, com um restaurante que tinha camas, redes, lugar para deitar no sol. Foi uma manha maravilhosa, pena que quando começou a ficar tarde o mar começou a invadir a areia.
Dias maravilhosos frequentando essa praia! Excelente pra quem quer relaxar e um curtir um marzao maravilhoso! Ótimo pra crianças pequenas também
É a minha praia preferida em Trancoso, possui várias barracas com ótimo atendimento, e em sua maioria a música ambiente é muito agradável. Traz paz e tranquilidade.
Praia muito bonita. Porém possui muitas algas e corais na entrada do mar, com isso a água é mais turva. Mar mais agitado com ondas. Local de acesso mais precário, levando em torno de 2 horas para chegar e os bares são muito caros, cobrando R$ 14,00 a cerveja.
Essa praia é um espetáculo, mar calmo e o que me chamou a atenção é que a areia é bem limpa, não tem aquele monte de lixo como normalmente tem nas praias do Brasil, da pra ficar o dia inteiro nessa praia, é ótimo deitar na areia e ficar por lá sem fazer nada.
Enjoyed the beaches even though the weather was not the best. Liked this beach the best. I found Trancoso very touristy, but the beaches are really nice. Not a lot nicer than other places in Bahia, but still nice.
Fomos no final de janeiro e nao havia quase nenhum movimento. Ficamos em uma das poucas barracas mas que tinha boa estrutura, apesar dos preços mais caros que nas demais praias.
Try to get away from the "barracas", which is how the beachfront bars are called. In northeastern Brazil, barracas play music as if everyone is going deaf, so once you walk away from the loudest ones, you'll find a nice place to stay. The water here is warm, as it usually is in northeastern Brazil, but as Trancoso is a bit windy this might not be the best place for small children. But for adults it is absolutely great.
