Ipanema, Brazil

In addition to the wonderful stretch of beach with great surf and umbrellas, gorgeous people to watch, you can wander through the fashionable streets to discover chic boutiques, trendy restaurants and hip cafes. On Sundays, there is a hippie market in Praça General Osório where handcrafts, clothes and souvenirs from Rio can be found.

Ipanema Beach in Rio de Janeiro is one of the most iconic Brazil beaches there is. It is a trendsetter like no other, setting the standard for beaches around the world, rather than following them. Just up the way from its equally famous counterpart, Copacabana Beach, Ipanema Brazil is as posh and fashionable as it gets in Brazil. Bronze, sculpted bodies are almost competition to the fantastic scenery. Exceptionally lively and reputed as the original birthplace of the teeny weeny Brazilian bikini, Ipanema has an atmosphere all its own, and one that virtually no other beach can compete with.

On Ipanema Beach, visitors will find a deluge of things to do. Soccer, belly boarding, and volleyball are all sports that can be seen played by Brazilian beauties along the shores. The difference between Copacabana and Ipanema, though, is that Ipanema offers a resoundingly relaxed backdrop. For one thing, swimmingconditions are much better, with inviting waters displaying calm conditions so that all ages can enjoy a dip. A distinct area is cordoned off for moms and babies to enjoy the beach with interruption or too much activity.
