I absolutely love the beaches in Rio de Janeiro! White sands, year-round sunshine, samba, parties, and all at very affordable prices all make the beaches in Rio some of the best in the world. As if that were not enough, the beaches can be enjoyed at any time of the year, so you can time your visit to one of Rio de Janeiros's paradise beaches to suit your convenience- although June to August of the year can be a little wet!

The beaches in Rio de Janeiro and around are probably some of the most famous in the world today. That many Brazilians and tourists alike flock to the beaches around Rio during the major holiday events of the year (for example, over 2 million party the night away New Year's on Rio's de Beaches!) makes the fascination with Rio"s beaches only stronger.

But if you take a bag remember to take along someone to watch it over for you when you dive in the sea. It is also advisable to do some bikini shopping, what you wear at home might not be fashionable if there is one thing in Rio you do not want to do is look funny.

If you are a man you will only need a T-shirt if you go by bus. If you walk yo will not need it. Remember to as light as possible, leave your bag or backpack at the hotel, do not take your cell phone or camera to the beach unless you are going with friends. As with bikinis for girls, your Speedos (”sunga” in Portuguese) should be as wide as a normal Calvin Klein. You should buy them at the local shops.

Cariocas usually take frescobol rackets, volleyballs, body or surfboards and, of course since this is the undisputed champions’ homeland, a football.

Keep in mind that although Brazilians love a tan line, do not take more sun that you’re able to because you will scare all the girls away if you are looking like a lobster. They usually laugh about that. Therefore, rent a beach umbrella, wear a sun hat and use sun protection. Also, wearing regular street clothes at the beach makes you look like the odd one. Below you will find links to all the beaches in Rio de Janeiro.
