beach life in rio de janeiro goes well beyond
just getting a suntan and playing in the waves.
just as much as there are people lying in the
sand relaxing, there are people practicing all sort of sports on
or around most beaches in rio.
nearly all beaches of the zona sul of rio have
cool-looking 'mini-gyms' - small structures specifically
designed to exercise, and available for all to use free of
charge.
further, along all of the main beaches there is a
bicycle
path that is also used to run and skate.
