The beaches of Rio de Janeiro is world famous. But what they are, how and where to go? One after another behind me, and describing the beaches of Botafogo interest from all the way out of Barra de Tijuca to all.
Botafogo is located in a polluted bay, where there is little water circulation is not suitable for swimming, as it is. And 'especially from people living close to the one used for sports like jogging and football. There arevirtually no waves and surfing is not possible.
Praia Vermelha Sugarloaf At the foot of the beautiful rocky beach is wedged between two huge decline in the lush jungle. Water is the most time reasonably clean, and is suitable for swimming. The absence of waves, does not go for surfers.
Praia do Leme extending north-east of the Copacabana beach is quiet and family. The part near the hillMorro da Lim gives shade to the left for most of the day, Nice on a hot day. Many times you have to navigate when they break against the rocks on the left. Unfortunately, pollution is a problem.
Praia de Copacabana, the most famous of all. This strip of sand is what most people associate with Rio de Janeiro and is known throughout the world. It 'very large and crowded on sunny days you can have hundreds of thousands of people. Since it is artificiallyenhanced currents can be quite difficult to guard Sun Non-residents from the beaches of one of the most fresh, the crowd is primarily families, seniors and tourists (and work for the girls!). There are many sports played here, here, in both leagues and beach volleyball will be held. Even as a venue for concerts and large events New Year's Eve is the highlight. Surfing is possible, often on the right side, just as it has problems with being Limdirty. By late afternoon the sun is gone, blocked by tall buildings along the Avenida Atlântica. Sundays and holidays, half Avenue Beach is closed for cars, space for pedestrians to enter, runners, cyclists, skaters and the like.
Praia do Diabo very small beach located between A Ipanema and Copacabana. An access point for surfers. Many times Fresh (beach tennis) players are here. The largest free outdoor gym in Rio.Most of the time the water clean but watch out for currents and waves!
Praia da Ipanema, in my opinion the best city beach in Rio. On the left are so good (though crowded) from the cliff Arpoador. The supply of clean water and strong currents, and (also extended). It gets sun of Copacabana and summer sunsets. E 'in sections informal Around Place 7 (Lifeguard Tower 7), the surfer, is 8 for 9 Gay Place Place is for young peopleHip and hippies, Parking 10 is for the rich. Though the tourists for most of the year, they feel local. Place between 9 and 10, you have many volleyball nets. Important for the sport in general. Just as in Copacabana diverted traffic on Sundays and public holidays.
Praia do Leblon a beautiful beach, but suffers from the shadow of the great hill Dois Irmãos. They are also more polluted, because the exit from the channel connecting the lake. Surf rightPage.
Praia do Vidigal waterway Small beach with waves. The people of the favela Vidigal shared with guests from the Hotel Sheraton. Dirty.
Praia do São Conrado Beach Paradise That was before, was completely destroyed by pollution from Rocinha favela. Waterway has waves and is also the landing site for hang gliders from the hill Pedra Bonita.
Joatinga One of the coolest beaches in Rio. A small path leads steeplyin this narrow strip of sand. To get here, you must enter a gated community, there are the beaches of Rio in private must take one! Recommended here to go with a car, you check the tide, as the only beach at low tide. Good for surfing.
Praia da Barra, the largest beach in Rio, together with its continuation Recreio about 18 km. Perfect for kite surfing and even for surfing. Da Barra de Tijuca is a districtnew rich that is very fashionable and health oriented. Should be clean, but sometimes dirty after the rain for several overflow lakes and mingles with the sea. Fills the weekends with people from the poorer suburbs.
Recreio This is essentially a continuation of the beach front, not so elegant and chic. Surf and many currents.
Macumba, the name of a rock, where slaves used to practice magic Macumba (black), this beach is good for long boardingand bathing. Clean water.
Prainha near the city of Rio is in this is the best beach for surfing. Consistently good waves, although it is quite small, very crowded on weekends. Beautifully situated among the hills covered with jungle. Only accessible by car or bus operated by Surf Prefeitura (city). Clean water.
Grumari Reserve is in a natural environment, this is an ideal place to relax. During the week, only a few people. Clean water and waterwaysWaves. Bring your own food, since hardly manufacturer. It can be full on weekends.
As I understand these are the beaches of Rio de Janeiro, at least one near the royal city that are worth mentioning.
Praia Boa!
