Beach overall scores
Sumaca Beach (Rio de Janeiro) is located outside the Itanema settlement, which may cause some difficulties for travelers who stay far from the coast. However, the remoteness from the village is not always a bad thing. Lovers of quiet rest know, the farther the beach, the fewer crowds.
The beach stretches on the sunny coast and the correct question is not how to get to Sumaca Beach, but what mode of transport can be used to get to it, because this part of the coast is inaccessible by land. The beach can only be reached by water and you have to rent a boat to get there.
User reviews
"The beach is stunning with its mesmerizing water color. We accessed it through the trail starting from Cajaiba, although you could also try bargaining with a boatman, but it might be expensive. There's a food stall that offers fresh fish for R$40.00. It's important to heed the boards that indicate the presence of a current. Check out my Insta for more 👉🏻 camilajgaspar."

"The beach is stunning and the locals are friendly. It's worth mentioning that the beach has public free entry, which is a great bonus. Overall, it's a great spot for a day out in the sun."
