Local before arrival
IPANEMA POSTO 8, 9, 10
A true display of Rio’s diversity, Ipanema posto 8, 9, 10 are the go-to beaches for families, LGBT people, bohemians, and socialites looking as much to socialize as to tan or swim. Given its focus on looks, it makes sense that the beach is an active one, with plenty of energetic people exercising and playing volleyball. Secure your own parasol and chair, as you will be able to purchase food and a panoply of flavored caipirinhas from the bars. Stay until the end of the day to witness the spontaneous eruption of clapping and cheering at the sunset.
