Linha Verde y
The Linha Verde (Green Line) is the 152-mile
(252-km) stretch of coast that runs north
from Salvador all the way to Mangue Seco
on the Sergipe border. It is often referred to
as the Estrada do Côco, or Coconut Highway,
because of the thick stands of palm trees that
line the beaches. This part of the coast offers
several popular holiday destinations and
well-developed resorts. The most favored
destinations are Praia do Forte and Costa do Sauípe.
Farther north, the beaches are pristine and beautiful.
