Beach overall scores
Praia Preta (Rio de Janeiro) is located outside the Abraao 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 easiest way to get to the beach is by car or bike. If you don't have this option, then the second best solution is to use the taxi, which can drive you directly to the beach. The only problem, if your stay is far away it can be quite expensive. There is also a possibility of use of public transport, but in this case you need to check the correct route to the Praia Preta with the locals. Take into account that the bus stop is usually in some distance., 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 the top choice for a day trip from Abraao. It's just a short 15-minute walk away and offers a peaceful ocean experience without the distraction of boats. The beach itself is stunningly beautiful. And if you're feeling adventurous, you can take a refreshing dip in the deep river nearby."
Arielle Delaney
"It's a decent option for a beach day when the weather isn't too sunny and you're looking to avoid pricey tours. The walk from Abraão is pleasant and short, offering a couple of spots to take in the village. The black, soft sand is quite enjoyable, and the water is warm. The photo captures a moment from the walk."
