Praia do Grumari, Natural beach in West Zone, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
Praia do Grumari stretches along the Atlantic coast with dark sand and rough waters. The waves and ocean conditions make this beach suitable for water sports activities.
The name comes from ancient South American languages and refers to the coastal formation of this area. The region remained remote and sparsely inhabited over time.
The beach lies within a protected area where nature develops without permanent settlements. Visitors experience a landscape shaped by forests and water rather than human habitation.
This beach is best reached by car through the road to Recreio dos Bandeirantes. Public transport does not serve this area, so plan your journey accordingly.
Nearby lie five other beaches with untouched nature: Inferno, Funda, Búzios, Meio, and Perigoso. Each maintains its wild character and sees little tourism.
