one of the most charming aspects of many beaches
facing the baía de sepetiba are the many fishermen boats, and
the small and often improvised fish markets in the area.
there are two entrances to the bay via the ocean,
one on the west side facing
the ilha da marambaia, and one smaller one closer to
the center of rio, in the neighborhood of
barra de guaratiba.
this
second entrance,
called canal do bacalhau
is home to spectacular nature and scenery, as the shallow waters
surround islands rich in wildlife and a most recommended sight
for any nature lover in rio.
