praia
funda, along with the other four untouched beaches of rio, are only reachable via boat, or by hiking along the
trail that connects them to the nearby
praia barra de guaratiba.
while
geographically rio's wild beaches seem closer to
grumari's beach than
to
barra de guaratiba's beach, via land they can only be reached from the
other side of the cape, on the
barra de guaratiba's side.
to get to praia funda,
visitors need to reach
praia barra de guaratiba
(also known as
praia grande)-
from there, praia funda, along with the other nearby wild beaches, can
only be
reached by hiking (about 3 hours to the farthest beach), or by boat.
