Salt wind and the rhythm of berimbau drums meet on the shore as you step from a cobbled street into the bright stretch of Itacaré's coastline. Coconut palms lean like old storytellers; waves push and shape the sand, daring you to move faster, to paddle out. Early mornings here are humid and fragrant with cocoa and seaweed; afternoons soften into long rides and warm water.
