Leblon Beach, Sandy beach in Leblon, Brazil.
Leblon Beach stretches for 1.5 kilometers with white sand backed by the Dois Irmãos Mountain, which creates a natural boundary between the ocean and the city. Lifeguard stations, public restrooms, and numerous kiosks line the shore, offering basic services throughout the day.
The beach area began as a quilombo, a settlement founded in the late 1800s by Portuguese abolitionist José de Seixas Magalhães. Over time, this community gradually transformed into the coastal neighborhood that exists today.
The beach serves as a daily gathering place where locals play volleyball and footvolley in designated zones along the sand. These games are woven into the rhythm of life here, drawing regular players and spectators.
The beach is staffed with lifeguards and monitored by surveillance cameras throughout the day for visitor safety. Public facilities like restrooms and food kiosks are spread along the shore, making it easy to access basic services.
At Posto 12, an enclosed play zone called Baixo Baby offers specialized equipment and changing facilities designed for families with young children. This separated area keeps little ones entertained while parents relax nearby.

Rio de Janeiro is more than a city; it is a living backdrop. Between mountains and sea, the Brazilian metropolis showcases its most famous landscapes: Christ the Redeemer overlooking Guanabara Bay, Sugarloaf shining in the sun, Ipanema and Copacabana beaches where music and sand never sleep. But Rio is not just postcards. In the streets of Santa Teresa, colorful azulejos climb the Selarón stairs, museums reinvent the modern city, parks hide tropical forests, and lookouts reveal stunning panoramas. From samba to nature, from colonial heritage to futuristic architecture, each neighborhood tells a different face of Rio. Here are the must-visit places to experience its energy, beauty, and the unique joie de vivre.
