often thought to be part of
copacabana beach,
leme beach (praia
do leme) is in fact a geographical continuation of
copacabana beach,
but a separate stretch and neighborhood in
it own right, and has a distinct beach life and culture.
located in rio's
zona sul, between
the
avenida princesa isabel
and the
morro do leme,
leme's beach is a quite beach mostly attended by local residents
and families.
many kiosks, nearby
restaurants, fishermen, families, the absence of traffic, and a very peaceful atmosphere, make of this stretch
of sand a precious getaway from the very lively
copacabana beach.
