If you were to draw up a list of the top 10 most famous beaches around the world to visit, Copacabana would be high up on that list. Arguably one of the world’s best beaches, Copacabana has over 4kms of pristine, spotless, wide white sand to relax on. Due to its notoriety, there is also plenty of local accommodation available at very affordable rates. Activities on Copacabana beach include volleyball, water sports and all night partying! Copacabana is also the home of futevolei: foot volleyball. The only note of caution about Copacabana is that it can get crowded, and with it a certain level of petty theft occurs. However, so long as you don’t take any valuables to the beach with you, you should be fine.
| If hanging around the beach isn't for you there is always the 5km Copacabana boardwalk. This boardwalk extends the entire length of Copacabana beach, where many people enjoy bike riding, roller-blading, jogging, walking dogs, or simply taking a stroll. Along this boardwalk there are number of elegant hotels, the most beautiful being Copacabana Palace Hotel. This hotel is located right on the beach and enjoys spectacular views of the ocean, Sugar Loaf Mountain, and Rio de Janeiro. The Copacabana Palace Hotel is very popular among international tourists. |
Certainly the jewel in the crown of Brazil beaches. Recommended Hotel - Copacabana Palace Hotel.
