a boardwalk stretches from fort gragoatá into the guanabara bay where enthusiasts fish the calm waters for snapper, whiting, croaker, shrimp, and sardines.

the simplest way of getting to praia ver melha from rio's zona sul, would be by taking bus 7003 (also marked 740 d) that leaves from praça general osório in ipanema posto 8, across from the easy to spot zona sul supermarket.

the buses display the sign 'niterói / charitas' and are operated by the two companies auto viação 1001 and braso lisboa  - both bus lines lines follow an identical route.
