**Barra Seca** is an official [nude beach](/source/Nude_beach) in [Brazil](/source/Brazil).

The beach of Dry Bar was established with the support of the municipal administration, ambient agencies, association of inhabitants and traders of the Pontal health-resort of the Ipiranga and the local community, basically agriculturists and fishing.
