rarely foreign visitors take time to enjoy this
beach, as they usually pass by on the way to the more exciting
adventure beaches.
yet, endless families from the surrounding areas
come to enjoy barra de guaratiba beach with their kids, as the
waters are normally calm and safe for swimming, and the
promenade is
a very socially-oriented area where group of friends meet at all
times.
for families with small children, the nearby
praia do canto
has even
calmer waters, and could be fun to visit even if just briefly.
