Praia do Diabo, Beach in Ipanema, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
Located between Copacabana and Ipanema, this 350-meter strip of sand emerges during low tide near the Arpoador rocky formation.
The beach received its name due to the powerful waves that crash against the rocks, making swimming conditions particularly dangerous during high tide.
Local residents gather at this secluded spot to escape the larger crowds found at neighboring beaches while enjoying the natural coastal environment.
Visitors should check tide schedules before planning their visit, as the beach completely disappears under water during high tide periods.
The water conditions create two distinct experiences: a calm swimming area during low tide and a completely submerged shore during high tide.
