This part of Rio was the 1st to get exotic fruits from the North and the Amazon Forest, like the now world famous purple and iron rich Açai. Ask for the premium açai and mix it with banana, strawberry or other fruit of your preference, this is one of the best in town! (Note, açai is relatively expensive, around R$18-20 for a big bowl in Copacabana). 200m.

World famous Copacabana beach, you are right at the middle of it. Walk left towards Leme, one of the most magnificient encounters of ocean, rock walls and forest. Or Walk right towards "posto 6" and follow across to Arpoador and Ipanema. I usually recommend Copacabana on week days and early morning.

Arguably the best beach in South Zone Rio de Janeiro. Take the metro from local station "Siqueira Campos" to "Nossa Senhora da Paz" Station. When you get to the beach, to the left is Arpoador and on the end of the beach to the right is Leblon.

Secluded and reserved beach between São Conrado and Barra da Tijuca. Beautiful scenario, walk a short trail down on the rock to the beach. Easiest access is by car or taxi, rather complicated by public transport. It is also a great bike ride, however, recommended for slightly more experienced riders due to some possible parts of intense traffic, uphills and overall distance. Scenic drive there and back. Great surf spot. For climbers there are bolted routes just by the beach (best get there early in the morning).

Several guests loved a day trip to Buzios (about 2.5 hours drive to get there from Rio). I typically suggest to spend a night in Buzios, famous not only for outstanding beaches but also food scene and nightlife. One of the top 5 tourist destinations in Brazil. We can help organize a room close to Geribá Beach if you decide to spend a night there on your visit. 170km.
