due to its excellent infrastructure and plentitude of space, this beach is the one beach in rio where just about any sport is practiced, from beach soccer to jet skiing.

the promenade has a bicycle path, and is rich with kiosks, small exercise facilities, and a variety of schools teaching surf, kite surfing, windsurf, body board, volleyball, stand up paddle, and slack line, among other things.

some of the local schools include the surf school dropvertical and dada figueiredo at barra posto 6, and the kite surf school k08 at barra posto 6.
