4 Frustrating

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.

This beach is absolutely amazing! I adore everything about it, but it's important to keep an eye on your phone when it gets really busy.

The beach is an incredible spot to witness the breathtaking sunset over Ipanema! You can relax and enjoy the view while sipping on refreshing drinks sold by vendors who stroll by. It's the perfect place to unwind and soak up the beauty of nature.

The beach is a fantastic destination, but it's important to choose the optimal time to visit since it can become quite crowded. It's an ideal spot to witness the breathtaking sunset, and the locals always applaud at the conclusion of a stunning display. Interestingly, the photographs captured are actually from Diabo beach, which is adjacent to Arpoador.
