People of all ages gather along the shores of many beaches, day and night, playing all sort of sports - surf, beach soccer, volley ball, foot volley, gymnastics, jogging, and even weigh-lifting, just to name a few. Youths learn soccer all along the beaches, while the elders enjoy free gyms and exercise in classes courtesy of the city's prefecture.

Blue waters energize during the day, and mesmerize at sunset - always welcoming surfers, body boarders, swimmers, and divers. The white sands of a hundred shores feel like velvet when playing volley, beach volley, fresco ball, beach soccer, and Rio's all time favorite sport 'altinha.'
