Japanese Beach (Rio de Janeiro) is located outside the Rio das Ostras 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, but accessing the beach requires traversing some distance on foot. While driving or cycling are the most convenient options for reaching the start point of trail, these methods may not be feasible for everyone. Alternatively, a taxi can be used to drive directly to the location. Public transportation is another option, but it's important to confirm the correct route with locals beforehand as the bus stop may be located at some distance.

User reviews

"This beach is absolutely stunning and offers a serene atmosphere. I highly recommend taking the time to visit and soak in the beauty."

Celso Nogueira

"I must say, the moniker given to this beach is quite a head-scratcher. Who in their right mind would name a serene paradise after a wrinkly sack? But I digress. This hidden gem can only be reached by taking a leisurely stroll on a soft sandy path for roughly 2 km from the North Sea beach in Rio das Ostras. Once you arrive, you'll be greeted by a stunning and untamed landscap..."
