also called praia da freguesia, given its proximity to the neighborhood by the same name, this beach is now referred to as praia da guanabara - named after the bay that surrounds it.

in fact, praia da guanabara is located within the guanabara bay, the body of water surrounding ilha do governador.

the beach boasts calm waters - there are rarely any waves - and white fine sand, however it is certainly worth remembering that the waters here are not always suitable for swimming due to pollution.   arrow-back     arrow-forward
