the beach's proximity to the park of flamengo adds a precious side to it, since the park is one of the most renowned running and biking areas in rio.   

it is situated for a great view of the sugarloaf and, on clearer days, it is possible to see the friburgo mountains.

while the aterro is also used for art exhibitions, cultural events, and musical concerts, families can choose any corner of it for a cozy pic-nic.
