Bombinhas is situated on a narrow peninsula extending into the Atlantic Ocean, renowned for its crystal-clear waters and marine biodiversity. The municipality is recognized as Brazil's ecological diving capital. The nearby Arvoredo Marine Biological Reserve provides premier conditions for snorkeling and scuba diving. The indented coastline comprises 39 distinct beaches, ranging from the more developed Bombas and Bombinhas to the tiny, secluded Praia da Sepultura. The interior of the peninsula is covered by protected Atlantic Forest. Hiking trails, such as the path up Morro do Macaco (Monkey Hill), reward visitors with panoramic views across the multiple bays. Local Azorean culture remains active through traditional artisanal mullet fishing practices and regional seafood gastronomy. Bombinhas is accessed via a single road from the BR-101 highway, which experiences heavy traffic during summer. To manage the environmental impact of seasonal tourism, a preservation fee (TPA) is charged for vehicles entering the municipality during peak months. Diving conditions are optimal from December to April, while the shoulder seasons offer quieter beaches.
