Rio de Janeiro Beach Tour - Private Tour Prainha and Grumari , the wild beaches
Our Day Tour Prainha and Grumari is an all-encompassing 7-hour tour. You will explore the wild beaches of Prainha and Grumari and have the chance to splash in the warm waters of the Atlantic. You will also stop off at Macumba and Recreio beaches. You can explore once more and snap Instagram-worthy images of the natural landscape.
Grumari and Prainha beaches are part of a protected area in Rio de Janeiro. The two beaches are located in the city’s western zone. Both Prainha and Grumari are famous for their natural beauty. One of the reasons these beaches are so popular amongst visitors is due to their untouched natural landscapes. The wild beauty of the two beaches attracts people as there has been little development around them.
Prainha Beach: Rio de Janeiro’s Hidden Gem of Natural Beauty
Prainha Beach is a popular destination for local surfers due to the rough waters that lap onto the shore. Its waves are great for catching a wave and riding it into shore. Waves can reach as high as three meters at Prainha Beach.
The name Prainha translates to “little beach” in English. The lush beach is situated between the Recreio and Grumari districts. During the week, the area is somewhat secluded, but it comes alive during the week.
Prainha is a part of Área de Proteção Ambiental Prainha, an environmental protection area. Due to the beach being environmentally protected, it is one of Brazil’s cleanest beaches. Along with surfers, Prainha Beach is extremely popular with nature lovers.
Grumari Beach: Rio de Janeiro’s Secluded Paradise of Serenity
Like Prainha Beach, Grumari Beach is notable for being pristine. It is located in the Atlantic Rainforest and is popular amongst local Rio de Janeiro citizens. The beach is unspoiled. The area will have very little commerce, making it one of Rio de Janeiro’s wild beaches.
You won’t find restaurants, luxurious resorts, hotels, or food kiosks at Grumari. You will find plenty of space to spread out on our tour. Grumari Beach is nearly two miles of pristine white and red sand.
Also located in an environmental protection area, Grumari is perfect for sun worshippers anxious to escape Rio de Janeiro’s famous city beaches. Grumari has one of Rio de Janeiro’s best beaches and is the city’s only neighborhood without residents.
Nearby is Macumba Beach. It is named after a large flat rock. The rock is where African immigrants once practiced their Macumba religion. Macumba Beach is another popular surf spot amongst locals. The hidden gem of Joatinga is also nearby.
