flamengo beach and the aterro are not  considered safe after sunset, exception made for nights following special events such as new year's eve fireworks and concerts. 

flamengo beach offers a spectacular view of the guanabara bay, combining in the same landscape the sugar loaf, the morro da urca, and niterói - this beach is often the set for weddings and fashion photography.
