praia da brisa was once a forgotten strip in rio de janeiro, but since renovations in 2002 the area was restored, revitalized, and made ready for an enthusiastic public.

lighting, bathrooms, and gazebos make this beach one of the most hospitable of the west zone - now locals and visitors alike can walk their dogs or go on a family stroll along the beach.

friends and couples can grab french fries or a cold beer and enjoy the romantic sunset over the bay of sepetiba.
