at a glance

on this link, the instituto estadual do ambiente - inea, provides the suitability of several beaches in the sepetiba bay area, including praia do cardo, which is close by to praia do aterro (da brisa) and can be used to guess water quality there.  

constantly updated, a red flag means that swimming is not advisable, a green flag means waters are clean, and a yellow flag suggests using own judgment. 

any of rio's beaches may have polluted waters within 24 to 48 hours following heavy rains.

unfortunately, while cleaning-up efforts are underway, many of the beaches in the sepetiba bay are normally not often suitable for swimming.   arrow-back      arrow-forward
