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.
