Copacabana beach resort pictures & guide, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil beaches
Welcome to Copacabana beach resort guide in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil!
Here you can find out score reviews to Copacabana beach, Ipanema beach, Barra da Tijuca and the rest of Rio’s 50 km of amazing beaches. The Copacabana beach resort itself is one of the greatest vacation getaways in the world, lying on the borderline between a tropical refuge and the vivid world metropolis of Rio de Janeiro. But only passing through this one beach of all Copacabana’s beaches would be a crime when there are so many!
Personally, for me as a beginner in surfing, I think Barra de Tijuca and Arpoador near the Copacabana beach resort are surfers paradise spots! Then of course you have the most amazing beach I have ever been to in Rio, the Prainha, ( the little beach in english) but you can read all about it yourself by clicking on the Copacabana beach resort links for each beach below.
Copacabana beach resort has excellent transportation connections to other beaches lying around Rio with abundance of taxies, buss stops and vans passing the main Copacabana beach street of Avenida Atlantica. To stop a van, just stand on the right side of the road and wave your hand. Be prepared for a full packed buss, and some bumps on the road. However, it’s quite an adventure and an excellent opportunity to get a little closer to Brazilian culture.
