PRAIA DA BARRA DA TIJUCA
Rio's largest beach, with good surfing and kite-surfing
Barra da Tijuca is an eccentric residential district of Rio. At 18 km long, it's also Rio's longest beach. The water is much cleaner than at Copacabana or Ipanema. The beginning of the beach is called Pepê, the trendiest and densest part. Good surfing (and kite-surfing) too. Further south, Reserva beach, opposite the "ecological reserve" separating Barra from the Recreio district, is wilder and less populated. At the very end of Barra, Recreio beach and its rocky promontory are very popular with families.
