Barra da Tijuca Beach
NatureVisit: ~180 min
A long sandy beach open to the Atlantic in the west of Rio, in front of the Barra da Tijuca district, where many of the events of the 2016 Olympic Games were held. It is wider and less crowded than Copacabana or Ipanema, with strong waves that attract surfers and kiosks right on the sand. A good option for those who want a beach with more space.
