Best Beaches

Rio de Janeiro’s coastline spans from the iconic urban arcs of Copacabana and Ipanema to the wild, preserved sands of Prainha and Grumari. This collection includes world-famous social hubs, specialized surfing spots like Leblon and Arpoador, and the paragliding landing zone at Pepino Beach. While central bays like Botafogo and Urca offer views of Sugarloaf Mountain, the western beaches of Barra da Tijuca and Recreio provide longer stretches of sand away from high-rise shadows.
