Botafogo Beach

Botafogo is a neighborhood that connects the Center and the South Zone. Its beach is famous for the privileged view of several famous sights of the city such as Sugar Loaf, Urca Hill and Guanabara Bay. Those who frequent Botafogo Beach use the sand strip to practice several sports, such as footvolley, soccer and frescobol. The water is not appropriate for bathing because it comes from the Guanabara Bay, leaving the observation of the sunset on the beach as the main attraction. Its beach is connected to Flamengo Beach via bike path and sidewalk. Music concerts and shows open to the public are common, because of the easy access and familiarity of the beach.
