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.

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.
