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.
