Praia do Grumari, Natural beach in West Zone, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
The Grumari beach extends for 1.5 kilometers along the Atlantic coast, featuring dark sand and strong waves for water activities.
The name Grumari comes from ancient South American dialects, describing the geographical formation where the beach extends into the ocean.
The beach forms part of a municipal park, making it the sole neighborhood in Rio de Janeiro without permanent residents.
Access to Grumari requires private transportation via Avenue Estrada da Guanabara through Recreio dos Bandeirantes, as public transit does not reach this area.
Five untouched beaches surround Grumari: Inferno, Funda, Búzios, Meio, and Perigoso, each maintaining their natural conditions.

Brazil's 7,400-kilometer coastline includes urban beaches like Copacabana, remote bays in Fernando de Noronha, surfing areas in Santa Catarina, coral reefs in Pernambuco, and beaches in the Amazon region. The coast features white sand, clear waters, cliffs, and tropical vegetation.
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.
