this smaller beach is located in the tranquil
urca neighborhood, on a
peninsula with the atlantic ocean on one side, and the
guanabara bay on the other.
a promenade rich of almond trees, fine
white sand, calm waters, and a beautiful view of
botafogo, flamengo, and of the
christ statue on corcovado, make of this beach an true
gem.
facing the bay, the shore is framed by rocks
on both sides, and looks onto many docked boats, giving it a
charming bucolic feel.
