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.
there is a
jurassic feel to this beach that is quite unique, due to the
rocks and vegetation surrounding it.
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.
