Praia Buraco da Velha is a sheltered beach located within the Vilas do Atlântico development in Lauro de Freitas, part of the greater Salvador metropolitan region. This coastal spot is distinguished by a significant offshore coral reef formation that runs parallel to the shoreline. During low tide, this reef system creates expansive, protected tidal pools of varying depths, ranging from shallow wading areas to deeper basins suitable for swimming and snorkeling. The beach offers a calm, family-friendly atmosphere with amenities like a beachside barraca providing chairs, shade, and local Bahian cuisine, including fresh seafood.

The entire length of beach where the coral reef parallels the shore is a productive zone.
