The Rio Jacuípe in Bahia, Brazil flows through the municipality of Mata de São João and meets the Atlantic Ocean at Barra do Jacuipe. This coastal river provides several established paddling routes, particularly in the Barra do Jacuipe area. Paddlers can find specific access points and boat ramps for putting in, including a ramp near the second beach, which serves as a launch site for out-and-back trips. The community of paddlers here actively shares routes, with popular stand-up paddleboard trails like "Jacuipe - Capivara" covering approximately 16.5 miles and "Jacuipe" covering 11.2 miles. Kayak and canoe trails are also documented, such as a route from the ramp to the second beach and back. The river's character is shaped by its proximity to the coast, and the area sees organized paddling events like races. The surrounding region offers a mix of riverine and coastal scenery as the Rio Jacuípe approaches its estuary.
