prainha beach

you will need a car , you will see our best beach in Rio de Janeiro , there are a lot of restaurants with our best culinary in fishes !!!!!! you need to arrive early because our sun is good ! well as a turist you need to arrive early for finde a good pla ce !

If you have some extra time in rio, it's worth going....lots of waves... Not the ideal place just for swimming !

A smaller stretch of sand than the neighbor beach of Grumari, therefore it can get crowded. The ocean is mostly very agitated so it's hard to swim. Beware of the people selling things: they charge a ridiculous amount of money there because it is farther from everything else so you have less options. It is a beautiful beach, nonetheless with a beautiful landscape.

Amazing beach! Part of Rio coast line! Good for surfers! lso dor couples in love! You have to drive or take a cab. It is about 30 miles distance from Ipanema.

Great place to relax, get a tan and enjoy some local flavours. Safe and easily accessible. Don't miss it

That's a really nice small beach! Great for surfing, big waves. There is a cafe as well.I think it is only possible to go by car and it's about an hour from Copacobana.

One of the most private beach in Rio. You have to go early or after 4pm, because it is so crowded that the police closes the way.

Its a 30 min to 1hr drive from Rio. Depends on the time of day and traffic. I stayed in recreio so it was a 10 min drive to get to and it was worth it. Such a quiet nook and so much space to surf.

If you have a car or staying close to Recreo, this is a must visit place. The beach is really nice, not calm but surrounded with rock and nature makes this a perfect scenery. Make sure to arrive early, in some times of the year parking get pack early.

This is a almost unexplored beach, with all the nature surrounding it! It is a Environment Protect Area, so that means it will remain like this for ever! Don't miss it, but you must arrive before 10 am because they close the entrance to control the numbers of cars!

If you like nature and enjoy a beautiful beach, Prainha distinguishes itself from all other beaches in RIo in that it has no view of the city, it is surrounded by a natural forest reserve and it isn't too close to RIo, which grants it a different status in terms of who goes there. Essentially a surfers' paradise, it has all the needed infrastructure to make your stay enjoyable.

This little beach is south on Rio de Janeiro, after recreio de banderiantes. Is a little surfbeach with some bars on the street. Perfect place to try to surf

It took me about 45 minutes to get there from Barra da Tijuca.When I got there the beach was crowded, and its hell to park here.The carioca drivers have no education, so be prepared for war on wheels.I regret going here, should I've stayed in Barra da Tijuca's beach, also crowded

This beach is a bit far from Copacabana and downtown Rio, but it is worth it. It has great waves to swim in and a much less crowded beach. This is frequented by locals and just feels much safer than the main beaches.

Ok place, but far away. Bus ride not worth it, and parking very difficult. Maybe a bike or scooter is better. If you are a surfer go with friends as lifeguards not always on duty
