Eighteen kilometers of beautiful, white, sandy beaches, Barra da Tijuca is known for perfect waves and its many kiosks. Considered a must-see, it is a surfer's paradise and an escape for cariocas who want to enjoy the sun away from the more urban areas. Deserted in a few stretches, the beach in Barra is an invitation to romance in a summer atmosphere.
At the very end of Barra is an ecological reserve located between the ocean and the lagoon. If you are into the naturist scene, Abricó Beach is the place to go. But if you want to sunbathe at the cruising point and be checked out, go to the beach at Av.
