Itaparica
8.2
High score (8-10) · Your profile
Itaparica is the island municipality across the bay from Salvador, accessible by a 45-minute ferry that runs constantly. The island has colonial churches dating to the 16th century, good beaches, weekend visitors from Salvador, and an increasingly expat/tourist-friendly environment. A foreign man here can operate in a relaxed island setting with easy access to Salvador's full social scene via ferry — the best of both worlds.
Mid score (6-8)
Itaparica's appeal is the island lifestyle and proximity to Salvador but the island itself has limited commercial and social infrastructure and is primarily a weekend destination for Salvadorans. Midweek it's quiet.
Lower score (below 6)
Itaparica off peak is a quiet island town with limited social activity. The ferry to Salvador is always there but the island itself has no real nightlife or social scene.
