Additional Surfing Infos |
| | Very nice place to stay all day long. Pretty ladies sun bathing on the sand, nice atmosphere.
When you have a big southwest swell paddle by the rocks, and you'll get to the right place easily.

3 good spots there!!! The left spot: It's a powerful left with a barrel and a long wall for manoeuvres. It breaks from 2 to 8 feet with E and SE Swell. Sometimes a short right close to the rocks breaks too !!.Right spot : It's a long and manoeuvrable right. It breaks with SE,S and SW swell. On big days you can ride a 10 feet clean and strong right. Middle : Fun surf. All size, all swell direction. Lefts and rights.

It's a paradise spot. It's a small beach with a virgin forest around. There's the Prainha municipal park. The first and unique beach park in Rio. Good parking, bathrooms, stores, snack bars. You can find all you need there!!! |
