Copacabana Beach, Beach area in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
The 4-kilometer beach features a promenade with black and white Portuguese stone pavement designed in a wave pattern along Avenida Atlantica.
The area transformed from a fishing village into a prime destination after the construction of Tunel Velho and Avenida Atlantica in the late 19th century.
The beach sections, marked by numbered posts from Dois to Seis, accommodate different social groups, including sports enthusiasts, seniors, and local residents.
Three metro stations connect the beach to other parts of Rio, while numerous kiosks offer refreshments and beach equipment rentals throughout the day.
The New Year's Eve celebration brings together 2 million people for fireworks displays and concerts, making it one of the largest gatherings worldwide.
