or beach of the arrows, is a beautiful beach located in

the world famous
niterói
contemporary art museum

praia de icaraí.
about 400 meter long, some say the name of this
beach is derived from the arrows used by the indigenous
population in this region, others say the name is due to the
abundance of a cotton-seed plant called 'flecha'.

a fairly secluded position away from the large crowds of the
nearby
icaraí beach, praia das flexas is ideal for anyone
seeking to relax and admire the beautiful views.
