on this link, the institudo estadual do ambiente (inea)provides the suitability of several beaches on paquetá island, including praia da imbuca. constantly updated, the red flags mean that swimming is not advisable, green flags mean waters are clean, and yellow flags suggest using own judgment. any of rio's beaches may have polluted waters within 24 to 48 hours following heavy rains. this link shows praia da imbuca on a wikimapia - the link as we present it is best seen using google chrome, as it might not open correctly with other browsers. on the map, the praia labeled as imbuca is actually praia as gaivotas.
