located in the southern zone of rio and a little over 100 meters in length, praia do diabo is a small hidden gem mostly frequented by locals and surfers, but has become more popular for visitors as it has been promoted by a variety of television shows and the many sporting events held nearby.

nested between pedra de arpoador and the copacabana fort, praia do diabo mostly appeals to surfers and work out enthusiasts.

when the tide is low, the beach is more open and accommodating for those who want to spread out on the golden sands that are lined with coconut palms.
