Wild Beaches in Rio

That the beaches of Rio de Janeiro are famous around the world, we already know, but what many don't know is that the city has four wild beaches.
These paradises are hidden in the West Zone of the city, in a large area of preserved forest. Access is via a moderate level trail with an average duration of forty minutes depending on the chosen beach. The trail starts in the Barra de Guaratiba neighborhood.
Discover the wild beaches of Rio de Janeiro below.

Perigoso Beach

Perigoso Beach is a small beach located in a sort of cove at the foot of Pedra da Tartaruga, a rock formation shaped like a turtle.
However, be careful the current in some points is strong and there is no lifeguard station.


Meio Beach

Meio Beach is located between Praia do Perigoso and Praia Funda. It has rough seas and a long stretch of sand.


Funda Beach

Funda Beach is right after Praia do Meio and the access trail starts on the rocks on the left corner of Praia do Meio.
It has a good extension of sand and calm sea depending on the season.


Inferno Beach

Inferno Beach is a small stretch of sand located right after Funda Beach. Its sea is very rough with waves hitting the rocks.

Atention

These four beaches are in an ecological area, respect the regulations. Never leave litter along the way, do not feed wild animals and do not touch these animals.
On the beaches there is no structure such as a bathroom or a place to buy water and food. Before visiting the area, seek information and hire a qualified professional.

There are trails of all levels that lead to beautiful viewpoints, waterfalls, natural pools, a lake and even wild beaches. The park suffers from abandonment, as the number that takes care of security is very low compared to the size of the area.

Pedra Branca State Park is the highest point in the city at 1025 meters high, but its view is limited due to the vegetation that surrounds the place.
