Beaches in Brazil
Many people believe that Brazilian beaches are among the most beautiful in the world. With over 1500 Brazilian beaches and over 500 picturesque island paradises to choose from, deciding which one to visit first will be difficult. Brazil's beaches are long, sandy, and have crystal clear waters due to the tropical climate. One of the best reasons to visit Brazil is to experience the salty sea lapping against stretches of sandy shore as far as the eye can see, while the wind whispers through the fronds of palm trees. It's no surprise that so many of this country's beaches have inspired so many music hits.
The most famous beach in Brazil and the world, Copacabana, is located in the heart of Rio de Janeiro. Expect crowds, music, and good vibes all along this 4 km long sandy beach. There are numerous facilities nearby, ranging from restaurants and cafes to the most luxurious hotels. This is also where some of the city's biggest celebrations take place.
If you're looking for a slightly more tranquil setting, try the nearby Ipanema beach. This beach became famous in part due to the song "The Girl from Ipanema." There are numerous facilities nearby, including outdoor gyms. In addition, the beach is popular among surfers. Praia do Espelho is another peaceful location. It is in Trancoso, in a beautiful tropical setting. There are no facilities directly on the beach; instead, you must travel to the nearby village. However, equipment such as chairs and tents can be rented. You should also visit Caraiva, Fernando de Noronha, and many other beautiful beaches.
