This beach is absolutely stunning and is famous for hosting surfing championships. The sea here is quite powerful, but there is a spot close to the rocks where natural "swimming pools" are formed, providing a calmer experience. Families and children love to frequent this area. Additionally, this beach is currently in the running for the Blue Flag, a prestigious ecological award given to beaches, marinas, and tourist boats. Along the waterfront, you'll find various bars, restaurants, and kiosks that also offer chair and tent rentals. However, be aware that the weekends can get extremely crowded, so if possible, it's best to avoid going by car as parking can be quite challenging. The parking fee is 20 reais.

This is a fantastic resort to explore, as long as you avoid the busy summer season.

We spent the morning at a small inlet beach in Urca, which may not be the typical expansive white sand coastline that people associate with Rio. However, it was a clean and cozy beach that was pleasantly uncrowded. It was also very child-friendly and definitely worth a visit! Additionally, there are cable car rides available between the mountains, although we haven't tried them yet. I'm sure the view from up there must be amazing.

This is my go-to spot for daily activities such as running, reading, and meditation. It's a peaceful haven for me.
