The raw material comes from there.
The raw material comes from the countless pickers who work during low tide. These shells were previously used to reinforce cement in construction work, a practice that was very common in the past. That is, when they didn’t go straight to the rubbish dump.
But the best way is to use them.
But the best use of molluscs and crustaceans is in the pan, in calorific dishes that are the face of the Bahian Recôncavo. Including in the form of moqueca, which goes well with a good pirão, refried beans, farofa and chilli.

The pier usually receives excursion boats from various places around the Bay of All Saints, including nautical excursions from Salvador. However, these are exclusively private vessels.
The pier has a large area of land, with a total area of 1,000 square metres.
