The Maraú Peninsula was recently discovered by Bahia's people and tourists, but the ancient natives tell that the place was already visited by writer and aviator Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, who is the author of "The Little Prince". From the higher part of the city there's a viewpoint that makes possible to see the Maraú estuary and the lowest part of it. The main beaches of Maraú are Taipus de Dentro, Barra Grande and Tremembé.
