10 Amazing Places in Rio de Janeiro for a Beach Vacation
| January 13, 2016
Grumari
Even further than Barra, Grumari is a natural wonderland. Actually set inside a nature reserve, the beach is surrounded by green vegetation. A look back into what Rio must have been like a hundred years ago, the pretty natural wonderland doesn’t have any beachside restaurants or towering hotels. This beach definitely isn’t a deserted paradise, though. Beware that Grumari fills up fast, as it is small and has a visitor limit to protect the nature reserve. If you plan on going, arrive early and pack plenty of snacks and water.
