on this link we posted a complete list and description of all the beaches located in the west zone of rio de janeiro. 

when visiting sepetiba, residents of western rio de janeiro make the trek to praia do recôncavo, and often grab a burger at bordon's, or an ice-cold beer at bar vagão de sepetiba, and enjoy the sunset over the bay.

while praia recôncavo is in need of restoration, the better areas of the beach show how praia recôncavo great potential.
