Praia de Itacoatiara, Beach and surfing spot in Niterói, Brazil.
Itacoatiara stretches for 700 meters along the Atlantic Ocean, featuring fine golden sands and bright blue waters framed by rocky formations.
The name Itacoatiara originates from indigenous languages, meaning written or engraved rock, referring to the geological characteristics of the area.
Itacoatiara has evolved into a central gathering place for young people and surfers, establishing itself as the primary recreational spot in Niterói.
Visitors can reach the beach using Niterói Bus Lines 38, 38B, 38A, and 52, with service times running throughout the day from downtown.
The beach contains three distinct surf breaks - Costão, Meio, and Pampo - each producing waves up to 4 meters high during strong Atlantic swells.
