behind this shore, the morro dois irmãos create a stunning green backdrop juxtaposing against the blue waters of the cove. a local fishing community with many members from the vidigal favela adds to the charm of the this beach. praia do vidigal is where many meet to practice skim boarding, a sport very similar to surfing, except instead of floating in the water waiting for a wave, the athlete skims along the thin layer of water left on the sand after a wave.
