What happens is that during the low season and at the remotest side of Pitinga beach, some people will take their clothes off (it's mostly women in topless). But it is not by any means a naturist beach. Richard, no, it doesn’t.

I ask because some groups like the Brazilian Naturist Federation say Pitinga can be unofficially used nude without hassle, but when I asked a Portuguese speaking friend to write some pousadas in Arrial to ask, they said there is NO nude beach in Arraial. Strange. I understand there is no OFFICIAL nude beach in Arrial or Trancoso, just wondering if there are tolerated ones. Does Arraial have a naturist (nudist) beach?

He's trying to get some of that old broduei and Arraial d'Ajuda feeling back. Were all the tourists always go to "the more popular" beaches like Parracho and Pitinga, we locals enjoy more the other side like with beaches like Praia Apaga Fogo, d'Ajuda,dos nativos. Here you will find relaxed beachbars like the bar called Sting with good and different music, far away from the tourist madness! Rua do Mudugê is also allready changed a lot, fewer bars and more restaurants... seems like Arraial d Ajuda is changing... more condominiums than pousadas or hotels. It's just not like it just to be.

Broduei is definitely a pale reflection of what it used to be. Better stick to Rua do Mucugê. Thanks for your tips, Cecile. Broduei is definitely a pale reflection of what it used to be.

I'd add (in the favorite places) the long walk to Tremendao's bar, just before Taipe beach and after Lagoa Azul(exactly 6.5 km from the praca dos hipis, a good workout.) Broduei and the church square need to go back to more music and less souvenirs, but go tell that to the owners who'd much rather lease to a chain store than keep their native bar open. Oh well.
