due to the geography of the beach, sunset here comes early, thus we recommend an early start, especially if coming from ipanema or copacabana.

there are no public buses going to prainha, thus the only option would be renting a car or taking a taxi - from zona sul the ride would be about 60 minutes, and cost about br$ 150 each way.

if going by taxi, a return trip should be booked in advance as there are no taxis normally driving through this area.
