Brazil's Best Beaches

This collection spans the coastline of Rio de Janeiro state, from the iconic urban sands of Copacabana and Ipanema, known for their distinct 'posto' landmarks and mosaic sidewalks, to the rugged, preserved shores of Grumari. Further south, the list includes the remote beaches of Trindade and Ilha Grande, such as Lopes Mendes, characterized by fine white sand and Atlantic Forest backdrops. These locations offer a mix of world-class surfing breaks, calm swimming coves, and trails leading to secluded natural pools.
