This is the main residential and hotel quarter, currently being developed at the northern end of town. The 8-km promenade lined with high-rise buildings commands a striking view of the Atlantic, but the beach is backed by a busy road, crowded at weekends and not very clean. During the January breeding season, sharks come close to the shore. You can go fishing on jangadas at Boa Viagem at low tide. The main praça has a good market at weekends.
To get there from the centre, take any bus marked ‘Boa Viagem’; from Nossa Senhora do Carmo, take buses marked ‘Piedade’, ‘Candeias’ or ‘Aeroporto’, which run along Avenida Domingos Ferreira, two blocks parallel to the beach, all the way to Praça Boa Viagem (at Avenida Boa Viagem 500). To get to the centre, take a bus marked ‘CDU’ or ‘Setubal’ from Avenida Domingos Ferreira.
