Boca da Barra: where river meets sea
For many people, the first picture of Boipeba. Wide beach, open horizon — and a sunset that becomes habit.

Waters meet here: river and sea in the same view. Near Velha Boipeba — usually about 10 minutes on foot from the centre, depending where you start.
The sea is typically calmer than the open Atlantic at Castelhanos. Good for swimming, long sand walks and an unhurried late afternoon. At low tide, reefs form shallow pools nearby (including known stretches around Capoeirinha) — always check the tide table.
On foot along the sand or village paths. By quad, on request. If you’re staying at Verde e Mar, the beach is fifty metres away — the sea, literally next door.
There are stalls and food/drink options when the season is busy, but the scale stays island-sized. Bring sunscreen, water and patience with the sun.
Use Boca da Barra on day one: settle in, swim, watch the sun go down. Leave Moreré and Castelhanos for when tide and boat line up.
One house. One booking at a time. Talk directly with the people who look after the house.
