Praia do Leblon

The 1.5-kilometer beach features golden sand and clear waters along the Atlantic Ocean, bordered by mountains and modern buildings of Rio de Janeiro.

The Leblon beach area emerged as an extension of Rio de Janeiro's coastal development in the early 20th century, following the urbanization of adjacent neighborhoods.

Local residents gather at designated beach sections marked by numbered posts, creating specific social zones for different groups and activities throughout the day.

Lifeguard stations monitor the beach from sunrise to sunset, while vendors provide chairs, umbrellas, coconuts, and refreshments to beachgoers.

The Dois Irmãos mountains form a natural backdrop to the beach, creating a distinct geological formation visible from every point of the shoreline.
