 Copacabana Beach Oct 13, 2009
First off the beachs of Rio are the best beaches i have ever been to and I live in Sunny Southern California. The weather on Copacabana Beach was perfect and there was just so much going on. This is definatly a people watching beach. There are hundreds of venders that will sell you anything from towels,beer,whistles, and shrimp. Within 10 minutes of laying on the beach you will be hit up by a least 10 venders. There are multple places to eat along the beach while listening to live music. Get a hotel or apartment over looking the beach and this will be the perfect vacation.

 Feb 07, 2007COPACABANA BEACH After passing Lagoa Ridrigo de Freitas, you enter the Copacabana Beach area. Hundreds of people stroll, walk and jog along Avenue Atlantica every day. The beach is very wide and Avenue Atlantica runs along the entire length of the beach. There are three lanes in each direction with shops, cafes and hotels lining the length of the avenue. For a spectacular view of Copacabana Beach, try lunch or dinner at Le Saint Honore on the 37th floor of the Le Meridien Hotel. GO to the beach on Sunday It’s like a carnival on Sundays. The Brazilians love to go to the beach on Sunday and it shows. The sand is much like the West Coast of Florida, very powdery and white. You would think the water would be warm but it’s the middle of summer and the water is about 75’ F. Not very tropical, but its hot and be sure to use sunscreen. The sun is deceptively hot and does burn. While sitting on the beach, $.50 to rent a beach chair, all kinds of local vendors walking the beach selling everything and I mean everything. Food ��" Shrimp, grilled tofu, pies, empenadas, chips, cookies Drinks ��" Soda, beer, spring water, coconut water and of course caphirinhas. Goods ��" Hats, shorts, bathing suits, sarongs, towels, wood carvings, sunglasses The outdoor juice bars on the beach side sell beer for $1 and mixed drinks for $3. People congregate at these juice bars talking and spending time with family and friends

…in Portuguese, discover all about the Angolan slave trade in the 17th and 18th centuries but to mainly do bugger all and lie on Copacabana beach for two days sipping cerveza and caipirinhas.
We actually didn’t do any of the above.
We spent a day in taxis and cable cars ascending the hill on which the big Christ the Redeemer statue ( Corcovado ) stands and also the Sugar… WHAT A VIEW! SHAME ABOUT THE BUILDINGS !?? |

Instead, I spent time at the Copacabana Beach. I walked with Wendy and Scottie up to to Fort Copacabana along the black and white mosaic sidewalks. They look like the sidewalks of Lisbon. Wonder which came first?
On the walk I saw a lot of sand castles and tooks… Copacabana and Hard Rock |

The afternoon was spent at Copacabana Beach. August is off season, so it was a little chilly due to clouds. Basically it was a disco nap on the beach. Only problem is that some of my friends do not need naps, instead they like to invite every… 6 days of fun and food in Rio |

After the race, we walked up and down Copacabana beach. I must say, Brazillian women do not look bad in bikinis.
Again, pre-partied at the hostel bar, and ended the night at Emporio. Emporio is located in Ipanema. This bar and restaurant gets pretty busy around 10pm, and it can be difficult… Sex on the Beach |
