Beach overall scores
Praia de Arrecifes (Rio de Janeiro) is located outside the Lopes Mendes 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 coast of the Grande island and the correct question is not how to get to Praia de Arrecifes, 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.
