Arpoador Park, Protected natural area in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

Arpoador Park extends along a rocky coastline between Ipanema and Copacabana beaches, featuring native plant species and coastal formations.

The park obtained its name from local fishermen who used harpoons to catch whales in these waters during earlier centuries.

The park connects to Girl of Ipanema Park, named after the famous song composed by Vinicius de Moraes and Antonio Carlos Jobim.

The park includes designated areas for surfing, fishing, and exercise equipment at Posto 8, with illuminated sections for nighttime activities.

Visitors and locals gather at the jutting rock formation each evening to observe the sunset over Ipanema and Leblon beaches.
