we included praia dos gaegos in our work, however classifying
this stretch of shore as
a beach may be an overstatement - as this beach is really a large landfill built
on top of a marsh by the bay at
ilha do governador, which was used to extend the
area of the runways of international airport tom jobim.
a portion of the area was occupied by the
favela
of parque royal, while the rest of gaegos is covered in shrubs that extends by the
back side of the airport, up to the ponta de tubiacanga.
