at a glance

leblon beach is between the water canal jardim the alah (allah's garden) and the beginning of avenida niemeyer, the base of the dois irmãos mountain.

the avenue along leblon beach is closed to traffic on sunday and holidays, making this area a car-free zone ideal for running, jogging, bicycling, or simply walking along the promenade.

mostly favored by local residents and people playing sports, this beach is not as widely attended by international tourists as ipanema, as it does not offer clearly defined social stretches such as posto 8 and posto 9.

instead, leblon beach is a more calm environment frequented by brazilian tourists, local families, neighborhood residents, volley fans, and celebrities looking for privacy.
