further, from this beach it is possible to see both the cagarras islands and the tijuca islands, making of praia da gávea a great beach option for anyone interested in a different perspective on both rio's nature and social culture. praia da são conrado is one of the most beautiful example of social diversity of rio de janeiro, since it is attended almost exclusively by residents of the nearby luxury neighborhood são conrado, and residents of the favela rocinha - surfers also attend this beach, as well as some fishermen who normally use the rocky edge on the east side. the promenade has a bicycle path and a variety of kiosks - there are some basic exercising infrastructures as well, and 3 lifeguard towers, where public restrooms can be found. | arpoador | |||
