Vidigal Beach
8 Jen Bronson

Ah, behold the petite yet picturesque beach. It's a refreshing escape from the hustle and bustle of Copacabana, Ipanema, and Leblon. Only the Vidigal residents and Sheraton tourists are privy to its serene ambiance. You'll find a handful of Barracas selling the essentials - beer and caiprinhas, and a few vendors peddling kangas and swimwear. But that's all you need for a tranquil day out. And if you're feeling adventurous, catch some waves while you're at it. Oh, and don't forget to watch the kids bravely leap from the towering rock into the water. It's a sight to behold.
