The main street of Itacaré is called Rua Pedro Lango (Pituba). Here you can find almost everything Itacaré has to offer like bright cotton blankets, hammocks, carved-teak bowls and a huge selection of bikinis. On the other end of this main street is the port. Here, along with moored fishing boats, you'll find fish and chip stalls and bars.

In central Itacaré, you will find eighteen restaurants and more than sixty stores. Now that's a choice!

Itacaré Shopping Guide

Handicrafts

If you are looking for handicrafts, there are almost three dozen shops selling paintings, sculptures infused with local craftsmanship, silver jewellery, semi precious and precious stones, ceramics, papagaio or parrot kites and rosewood artifacts. You will also find the indigenously produced, famous Brazilian coffee, hammocks and Indian artworks.

Supermarkets

Grocery shopping in Itacaré is basic but adequate. Itacaré has some small supermarkets which stock canned foods, grains, sugar, biscuits, beverages etc. In the fresh produce section, you will find a variety of fruit. Bakeries here offer a range of delightful treats and are worth a visit.

Surf Gear

Surfers can ride the waves with all sorts of gear and beachwear being sold in over 25 shops in Itacaré. You can choose between buying long boards and fun boards, or renting them. You can even get your boards repaired here. Price-wise, you can rent a surfboard for R$ 20,00. If you want to learn to surf, classes can be arranged for every ability for R$ 120,00 per person based on the number of people in your group and, of course, the time of year. The surf shops are mostly located at the bottom of Pituba Street.

Havaianas

Brazilian Havaianas, or flip flops, are a must-have for all tourists. They can be worn everywhere in Itacaré - beaches, restaurants, shopping malls and anywhere else. In fact, they are a part of the dress code! Available in numerous colours and styles, you can pick them up from shopping malls or speciality shops for R$ 10,00. Perhaps they'll be a little cheaper at beach or street markets.

Markets

Every Sunday, Itacaré spreads out a Farmer's market. Though generally people like to relax over the weekend, you'll find people rolling their wheelbarrows to the soccer field to trade wares from as early as 6am to about 12am. Real bargains can be found here ranging from fresh produce to souvenir t-shirts.

Concha Beach

Concha beach also has a good range of snack and drink stalls. You can make yourself comfortable in a chair there with no one expecting you to pay for it - true hospitality! In between dips, you can chill with a caipirinha which is made of cachaca, sugar and lime. Some call it the national cocktail!

Marau Peninsule

If you are in an adventurous mood and would like to explore places, one of the most spectacular off-road tours is to the Marau Penínsule. Whaling tours are available seasonally from July to October.

Shopping Tips

Money advice - few establishments accept credit cards and though local ATM's are available, you may have to queue up.
