Overview

Beach in Rio de Janeiro. It lies in southeastern Brazil, most comfortable in the dry winter months from June to August.

Why visit: Over seven thousand kilometres of coast — Rio's city beaches, the northeast's warm reef pools, and dune-backed sand in Ceará.

Things to do

›Rent a chair and umbrella from the beach vendors — that is the local way
›Try água de coco and the grilled cheese sold along the sand
›Swim near others; several beaches have strong rips and no lifeguard
›Take almost nothing to the beach with you
