praia vermelha (red beach), is a
charming beach nested in the
urca neighborhood,
between the
morro da urca
and the
morro da babilônia
- despite
being so close to the entrance to the
sugar loaf
on
praça general tibúrcio (general tibúrcio square), this
beautiful shore is not a common beach destination for
international visitors.
red beach is
an easy stop when visiting the
sugar loaf, as it is only a short walk away from the the
cable
car station. there is a
tranquil feel to this beach that is quite unique, due to the
rocks and vegetation surrounding it.
