thus, the original 500 meters of praia do rosa were
drastically reduced to 160 meters - 80 meters to each side of sand, and the rest of
it just stone walls.
this beach does not have any facilities aimed at tourism, and
the sandy parts are mostly only used by the residents of the local favela, also
named 'praia da rosa.'
similarly to other beaches in the area, the water quality is
poor, and swimming here is not recommended.
