Joaquina Beach
My advice is to bring your own snacks and drinks. Beachside cafes can be pricey and while the food is great it's nice to save some cash and munch on what you love.
I recommend hitting the beach early, around 7 AM, to snag a good spot and enjoy the sunrise. It gets crowded fast, and the morning vibe is just unbeatable!
Joatinga Beach
Don't forget your sunscreen! The sun can be really intense, especially in the afternoon. I regretted not applying more after a couple of hours. My back was sore the next day.
I recommend staying till sunset; the views are incredible. I took some photos and they turned out amazing. It’s a perfect way to end your day there
Brava Beach
I suggest wearing reef shoes or sandals because the sand can be super hot, especially in the afternoon. My feet were burning by about noon, and I regretted not packing them!
If you’re planning to surf, try to hit the waves early around 7 am when the wind is calmer and the water is less crowded. I had the best time catching some great waves then!
Mole Beach
I think sunset is magical at Mole Beach, so don’t miss it. Grab a beer, relax, and enjoy the colors, but be careful of the sandflies; they bite!
Bring your own snacks and drinks instead of buying from the kiosks. I found the prices were a bit steep, and packing a picnic is way more fun!
Jeribucacu Beach
Definitely bring cash! There aren’t many ATMs nearby, and some beachside bars don’t accept cards. I ran out of cash and missed out on some delicious snacks!
Ipanema Beach
I recommend checking out the sunset around 5:30 PM. The views are amazing, and it’s a nice way to chill after a day of sunbathing and swimming
Engenhoca Beach
Bring your own snacks and drinks. The beach has limited options and they can be pricey. I learned this the hard way, so save some cash.
Matadeiro Beach
Beware of the tides, as they can change quickly. I suggest checking a tide chart ahead of time, so you can enjoy the beach without worrying about getting stranded!
Tiririca Beach
Bring some snacks and drinks to the beach to avoid overpriced stalls. I found a lovely spot on the sand, but the food prices were a bit high
Backdoor Beach
I highly recommend checking the tide schedule before you go surfing; the waves were way better during low tide when I visited, and you’ll want to hit the water at the right time
My advice is to bring your own snacks and drinks. The beach vendors are pricey, and having your own stuff helped me save some cash and enjoy a longer beach day!
