the area around pedra do arpoador, which is a large rock that juts into the crystal blue waters where many go to see the breathtaking sunset, is considered an excellent location for scuba diving and snorkeling.

like praia do diabo, praia do arpoador is known as a great spot for surfing, but when the waters are calm it is a great spot for swimming as well - arpoador posto 7 is a great spot for zona sul tournaments and surf events in rio, with small events and competitions planned throughout the year.
