Ipanema Beach

Ipanema Beach is an incredible experience. I enjoyed every minute of ipanema. I will definitely return on my next trip. The beach is surprisingly clean and not too crowded, even on cloudy days, even on sunny days. The people were kind and courteous. People say it can be dangerous, but that was not my experience. I recommend it while in Rio. The sunsets are incredible.

An absolutely beautiful amazing beach! I have visited many beaches in several countries and this one is one of the most special. The views are amazing! The sand is super soft, no hard rocks or pebbles anywhere all along the beach. Te beach is very clean and well taken care of. There is also many many vendors to pretty much sell you whatever you would like I mean anything. There are vendors that have chairs you can rent and an umbrella for about $10 USD equivalent or 45 R$’ish the also all serve you drinks on the beach.

We went a few times during our 8 days in Rio. We much preferred the morning as it was easy to find a relaxing spot at the front close to the sea. The sea was freezing and by the time we left each morning the beach was packed. It was high season though. If we went late afternoon we pitched our throws at the promenade side of the beach as we only stayed an hour. Check prices for chairs and parasols, while reasonable we definitely got overcharged the second visit. It's definitely not a relaxed beach experience and was pretty overwhelming with how busy it is and needing to keep an eye on your belongings. A very young, party place while we were there but I'm not sure if that's because it was over new year.

Even with the weather not so good there is still some futvolley to be enjoyed. And of course you can see the doggos having fun. ⛱️🐶🐕🐾🐾🐾

I like Ipanema far more then copacabana! The sunset is just amazing

Ipanema is one of the most famous and beautiful beaches in Rio de Janeiro right next to the famous Copacabana and the lesser known Leblon. It is also one of the safest places in the most famous Brazilian city. Ipanema beach connects to Arpoador beach on one side and Leblon beach on the other. In the background we can admire the beautiful island of Ilhas Cagarras, or the beautiful mountains. Along Ipanema beach, we can stroll or bike or rollerblade along the boulevard, which stretches all the way to the end of Ipanema beach.

It is one of the city's most famous and beautiful beaches. Known for its stunning views, it offers a relaxed atmosphere that's less crowded than Copacabana. Visitors enjoy walking or biking along its long boulevard, with picturesque views of the Cagarras Islands and nearby mountains. It’s a great spot for sunbathing, swimming, and enjoying the local vibe. Ipanema is also considered one of the safest beaches in the area.

100+++ stars for the Ipanema sunset. In December we rode the Itau bicycles from Copacabana beach to catch this stunning sunset. There were merely free spaces to leave the bicycles on near parking spaces for them, because it is so popular to watch the sunset here (especially the coastal place Pedra do Arpoador). Take note: be careful and active watcher of the surroundings. Only take your phone out for pictures and videos.
