grumari beach

Its a about a 40 min taxi ride (on the weekend without rush hour!) from Rio. The beach there is less crowded than copacapana and has some beautiful nature around it. If you got some spare time definitely worth a trip. I paid 120 Real one way. Might be worth arranging for a return taxi as there won't be any taxis around to bring you back.

you will find our better beach , you need arrive early to find a good place . you will find many restaurants ! fishes are very god here !

There is no infrastracture around, only a couple of small bars, far away from hip crowds of Ipanema and the tourists of Copacabana. Really nice place surrounded by forests. I liked it a lot. However, it's important to go there early, otherwise you will not find a free spot to park your car.

We met some Brazilians and they took us to Grumari beach. It was pretty far from Copacabana, but it was worth the ride of more than one hour. Grumari is just awesome, a beach that is hardley explored, very quiet on a weeksday. Great waves as well for some body surfing. You should check it out.

To be reached by car. Beautiful bay, nice restaurants with wonderful view. Next to national park. Quiet beaches. Good place to surf.

Just another of Rio's world-class beaches. There is no development here as it's surrounded by parks. But they do have plenty of kiosks where you can get things to eat and drink.

A beautiful beach but it is very far if you're not already staying in Barra da Tijuca or surrounding areas. No buses go there and by taxi it will probably cost a fortune. It can be very difficult to park during the summer, on weekends or holidays. Surfers enjoy this beach, which means the waves tend to be a bit bigger so check before you go. To clarify: this is not a nudist beach. There is a nudist beach nearby but it is surrounding by foliage and rocks so unless you "accidentally" walk there, you won't see a thing.

The beach is lovely with nice views, it is more natural and less crowded in comparison with Ipanema or Copacabana but is ridiculously far from the city and getting there can be a nightmare if you don't have a car (it took us almost two hours from Barra da Tijuca by bus and taxi). It is supposed to be a nude beach on weekends but on a weekday when we visited there wasn't a single nudist bather.

This beach is the best beach close to Rio. We went on a Wednesday because on weekends it can get very crowded. The waves were high and I would not recommend it for bad swimmers because the currents are also strong. There are some surfers and local people at either end of the beach but the middle is near deserted. You need a car though or take the bus and then a cab. Not easy to get to.

The beach is a short drive outside of the main bustle of Rio and is great. it is unspoiled and has an amazing vista. easy to get to. Went during the week so it was not at all crowded. Keep going towards the end up a hill and you'll end up at a great Restaurant with an amazing view too.

This beach is after recreio on the south side of Rio de janeiro.I belive you will like it, not that many tourist but the wawes can be high during winter seasson here. You also have a Camping close to this beach and a naked beach

Really nice beach, nice Kiosque one of the few still wild beaches in Rio. Only acessable by car. Quiet beach, but still has 4 to 6 places to eat. Bring your beach chairs, umbrella and towels. Really nice beach

Need a car or motorbike to reach this large beach. Usually bigger waves and stronger currents so not for kids or inexperienced ocean swimmers. Lovely to sit on the beach though, much quieter and cleaner than Rio's more famous beaches. Sand is very coarse, like small pieces of shell, and sticks to your skin like crazy.

This is a very nice beach, a little off the beaten path but if you have time and a car worth going. There are not as good options for food in the kiosks but still a very clean and nice beach

Who is looking for beautiful beach, white sand and calm sea, will find it here. Rent chairs or sun umbrella very cheap. One of the most adviseble beach at Rio de Janeiro.
