Morro de São Paulo is a village in the northern tip of the Tinharé island in Bahia. Reachable only by boat or plane, the village has no paved streets or car traffic. There are, however, lots of hotels, pousadas and restaurants, as well as a few ATMs. The island's beaches are nice and imaginatively named First, Second, Third and Fourth beach.

Beaches - Most beaches in Morro are reachable on foot and great for lounging about in the sun. Many of them, however, can be a little rocky and too shallow to swim. There is a quiet beach behind the hill that is good for swimming.

Diving - There are at least 2 dive shops on the islands. Companhia do Mergulho is a good and honest company. The best months to dive are Nov - Mar. Diving is poor during October due to the frequent storms that reduces visibility to 1 meter(3 feet).

How to get there
By plane
Morro has no actual airport but charter flights from Salvador take 20 minutes from Salvador and land on two runways, located respectively on the Third and Fourth Beach.

By boat
You can get there from Salvador by catching a ferry or catamaran from the Mercado Modelo, a 5 min walk from the lower end of the Lacerda Elevator.
