Barra de Guaratiba Beach

This is the final beach you can explore along the Rio de Janeiro coastline. The sea was tranquil during our visit, and we enjoyed a full day there. We opted for an Uber ride, which made parking a non-issue. The rental rates for chairs and umbrellas were affordable, as were the nearby restaurants.

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

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.
