User reviews
"This is the final beach you can explore along the Rio de Janeiro coastline. The sea was tranquil during our visit, and we enjoyed a full day there. We opted for an Uber ride, which made parking a non-issue. The rental rates for chairs and umbrellas were affordable, as were the nearby restaurants."
Luis Martinez
"The beach is stunning during the afternoon, but it's important to exercise caution when it comes to the water."
