praia de icaraí has one of the most beautiful views among all the beaches in the rio region, facing directly the pão de açúcar, the corcovado mountain, the pedra da gávea, the museum of contemporary art and the landmark rocks pedra do índio, and pedra de itapuca. the sunset from icaraí beach is particularly beautiful, as the sun sets right behind rio de janeiro and highlights the skyline of the city, that is itself lit up in a rich and elegant way.
