spanning 2400 meters, an extension nearly equal to that of neighboring piratininga, emerald waters and fine, white sand, camboinhas is commonly regarded as one of the most beautiful of the oceanic beaches in niterói.

it is quite popular among angling aficionados, and they can often be seen standing in the surf casting relentlessly with their fishing poles - ostensibly their success rate should be quite high, as the beach is also lined with kiosks that sell seafood freshly plucked from the ocean.

in addition, the space farther out to sea is frequently used by sailors and windsurfers, as conditions here are ideal for these types of pursuits.
