The cruisiest part of Ipanema beach across Ave. Vieira Souto at the end of Rua Farme de Amoedo. It’s also the trendiest hangout in town. There is also a large park near this area, between Porcao restaurant and the monument at the end of the part by Botafago. Watch out for the guys on the parallel bars. They may be working out… but they are also checking out the talent as it walks by.

The area is both popular with rent boys and the local gay guys. Friday, after work is popular. Guys gather at “Amarelinho” or “Verdinho” bars and watch the crowds go by.

Nudist Beach in Rio

Recreio Beach is a popular beach from nude sun bathing. It is very discreet, but the area in the woods, behind the highway is full of action. Located several km outside the city, renting a car is your best option, however the 553 bus also goes by here.

Directions: Head past Barra de Tijuca and keep going to Recreio, before Grumari Beach until the view of the beach is obstructed by the tall grass. Park on the right side of the highway and go over the wire fence to get to the beach.
