Baía de Todos os Santos - Islands

 
Among the islands in the Baía de Todos os Santos are the Ilha da Madre de Deus (Island of the Mother of God) off Candeias, with a 17th century church and an oil refinery; Bom Jesus dos Passos, a center of craft production and boat building; the Ilha dos Frades, with waterfalls and coconut palms; the Ilha da Maré (pillow lace making), with the colonial church of Nossa Senhora das Neves; and the large island of Itaparica. From the Terminal São Joaquim (Agua dos Meninos), the landing-stages on Avenida França, the Terminal Turístico Marítimo and the Estação Marítima de Passageiros e Administração do Porto de Salvador - all in the lower town of Salvador - there are regular ferry services to Itaparica, Maragogipe and the Ilha dos Frades. The boats for the Ilha da Maré sail from São Tomé de Paripe (23km/14mi from Salvador on the Avenida Suburbana).
