Brazilian Beach Culture

No one knows how to make the most out of a beach as well as the Brazilians do. It is justifiably called a “Culture”. Beaches in Brazil are simultaneously a social scene, a place to show off one´s body (most importantly) and to soak up that glorious sunshine.

Of course, the famous Brazilian Beach Girls, wearing the smallest bikini they can find, and the “hunks” donning their tiny Speedos, form the essential framework of the sandy arena.

The entire point of going to the beach in Brazil is to show off your body to the whole world, no matter what shape it may be in, nor what age it may be! No one would be seen dead wearing some bulky swimming costume sometimes seen in the West. The body itself is a cult and an end unto itself.

Brazilians are very much at ease with their bodies and have no sense of shame. Instead they enjoy and celebrate their flamboyant displays.  Brazilian Beach Girls have great skin and choose to wear the tiniest bikinis they can possibly find. The dental floss bikini ( “fio dental” in Portuguese) fashionable a little while back, left little to the imagination. It also led to this joke:
Two Australian sharks meet off the coast of Rio. One says to the other   “I hear the food around here is really good”  “oh yeah mate, why is that?” asked the other, “ because it comes complete with dental floss!”

Beach Girls BrazilThe sexy Brazilian Beach Girls are certainly a sight to behold. Even more so, on the fashionable beaches of Rio, where they are obsessed with their figure. Despite their provocative appearance, however, nudity is generally considered taboo and it would be rare to see a topless woman on any of the popular beaches.

The beach scene at the bay, in front of “Casa Sejala”,  here at São Tomé in Salvador, is quite a different matter to that of Rio for example. Sure you still get the gorgeous Brazilian Beach Girls, but it is much more a favorite spot for all day family gatherings. So on any sunny Sunday; many families make their way down to the bay in São Tomé. Because the beach is very protected and flat, it is extremely safe for children. At low tide the guys play soccer and there are always a few beach volleyball games in action.

The many beachside Barracas are always full with Brazilians of all shapes and sizes eating and drinking and swaying to the Samba music. Lively discussions about football, politics and the latest soap operas can go on for hours. Many families also bring along their own little charcoal BBQ´S and cook up a feast! Most Brazilians living anywhere near a beach will hit the sand as often and as long as possible, transforming the outing into a big social event.
