Quebra-mar da Barra da Tijuca, Breakwater at Barra da Tijuca Beach, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
The Quebra-mar extends 50 meters into the ocean between Pepe Beach and Amores Beach, near the Joatinga Channel in Barra da Tijuca.
The construction of this maritime structure occurred during the urban development phase of Barra da Tijuca, marking the region's transformation into a coastal destination.
Local fishermen gather at the breakwater during early morning and evening hours, maintaining traditional fishing practices in this modern district.
Visitors can reach the breakwater by taking the metro to Jardim Oceânico station and walking 2 kilometers along the beachfront or using taxi services.
The structure creates specific wave patterns that generate different water temperatures, making Praia dos Amores warmer than surrounding beach areas.
