Mangue Seco is the last beach of Bahia's northern coast, in the border with the state of Sergipe. The beauty of this local was showed in a soap-opera called "Tieta", inspired in the romance "Tieta do Agreste" written by Jorge Amado. Its few streets are covered with fine and soft sand. The mix between freshwater and salt water propitiates the formation of extensive mangrove areas and abundance of seafood. On the beach, the coconut palms curve itself above the water. Along the shore, there are hotels, bars, restaurants and fishermen houses. There's a good touristic structure.
