The Farol da Barra is a popular excursion destination for both tourists and residents of Salvador. The over 20 m high, black and white striped tower with the large light at the top is visible from afar. The light of the Farol da Barra emits a specific sequence of white and red light every five seconds. Tourists and residents of Salvador can watch from the Barra Lighthouse as the sun slowly sinks into the sea in the evening. The Museu Náutico da Bahia is also located in the lighthouse.
