The Balneário Municipal swim area is one of the Bonito activities that is closest to downtown. The Formoso River, one of the largest in the area, goes through the Balneário and is the main attraction at the place. Crystal clear waters, a lot of fish along with some shallow and deeper swim areas make this everyone's focus.

Because it is a swim area, it is a less restrictive place in Bonito MS Brazil. You arrive at whatever time you would like and enjoy the day however you prefer: Swimming in the river, hanging out on the grass, playing volleyball or using a snorkel (That you rent or own) to see the fish in their natural habitat.

The main English word found to translate the Portuguese word "balneário" is "balneary", however these are different things. Balnearies tend to be rooms, closed off places, while balnearios are typically natural swim areas out in the open, usually by rivers or at the beach. This is why H2O Ecoturismo e Eventos has decided to just use "Swim Areas" when discussing this kind of activity in Bonito. So, the name Balneário Municipal basically means Town Swim Area, because the town government is responsible for this specific swim area's management.
