Arpoador beach

Arpoador is a tiny surfer beach in the heart of Rio. It has good wave, and there's no too many people. Also Arpoador cape is a perfect place to meet the sunset. Shore and seabed: sand. [edit]

Hotels [edit]

It is a great choice of hotels near the beach, including few budget options. Arpoador is a strategically good district, as you will be able to walk from your hotel to the most popular Rio beaches - Copacabana and Ipanema.

How to get there [edit]

Fly to Rio de Janeiro International Airport (GIG). Next hire a taxi. Never catch a taxi on the street! You may just go to the nearest cafe or hotel, and ask to call a taxi for you.

When to go [edit]

The best time for a beach holiday in Rio de Janeiro is a warm period from October to April.
