Grumari Beach
10 Ethan Kline

This beach is really great, although the middle of the sea can be a bit rough. I suggest sticking to the right side of the beach, near the rocks, where the water is a bit more calm. Plus, there's a convenient car park nearby.

Arpoador Beach
4 Couch Alan

Upon approaching the rocky outcrop, visitors are hit with an overpowering scent of urine. It's hard to determine if this odor is coming from a particular plant or if it's due to the high concentration of human urine in the area. Regardless, this beach may hold the record for the largest amount of urine in one location.
