"A favorite activity among locals is altinha, a form of beach volleyball played with the feet. If you’re looking for something more relaxing, paddleboarding at Arpoador or Praia do Leme is highly recommended. You can rent a paddleboard from the local beach barracas and take in the beautiful surroundings."

"End your day at Posto 7 – Near Arpoador, this area is famous for incredible sunsets and a scenic view of the “Two Brothers” mountains. Surfers flock here for the waves, and it’s a prime spot for watching the sun dip below the horizon. "
