A hidden paradise, and is, therefore, not easily reached.

This beach can only be reached by car.  It is located in the middle of the Joá highway, linking São Conrado to Barra da Tijuca. This tiny beach can only be reached by going down a path between the rocks so that senior citizens and children must be doubly careful. The sands are white and the sea allows for surfing as well as swimming. A perfect place to relax with the family, with good waves for surfers.


Address:
Rodovia Joa, between São Conrado and Barra da Tijuca

 Protected by stones, the small beach is accessible by trail and is within a residential condominium. With good waves and is frequented by surfers and young people. Has very few beach huts. It is advisable to bring water and arrive early to secure place in the narrow strip of sand and enjoy the sun, since the stones are shadows on the sand in the middle of the afternoon.

Relatively small beach, where you walk from one end of the beach to another in less than 10 minutes. Frequented by famous artists who seek a more reserved and also highly coveted by Surfites, since the waves are of great potential, it is most prevalent in the presence of the beach bodyboarders, mainly from the middle of the beach to the right corner of the stone board where surfers are not always welcome.
