User reviews
"This beach is a hidden gem. To reach the naturist area where clothing is optional, you can walk past the left side corner and navigate around the big rocks on the sand. It's a wonderful spot to take a dip and enjoy the natural surroundings. However, it's unfortunate that some men behave aggressively and impolitely, which detracts from the otherwise idyllic atmosphere."

"If you don't have a car, the beach is a bit of a distance from the city, but it's undoubtedly the most stunning beach in Rio."
