Barra da Tijuca Beach is situated along the coast of the lagoon, in the western region of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
The ample expanse of sandy beach is characterized by a gradual water entry that renders it suitable for families with young children.
However, the presence of waves makes it a desirable location for surfing enthusiasts as well.
Surfing equipment is available for rent at reasonable rates.
Visitor reviews highlight that the beach is a perfect place to relax with live music and good company. Visitors appreciate the lovely people and atmosphere. However, visitors complain about locals overcharging tourists and trying to sell drugs on the beach, and recommend avoiding the nearby Favelas. Some visitors also note that the beach can be crowded during peak periods, and the ocean water is colder compared to the Caribbean.
