Lonely Planet review for Praia da Barra da Tijuca

The best thing about Barra is the beach. It’s 12km long, with the lovely blue sea lapping at the shore. The first few kilometers of the eastern end of the beach are filled with bars and seafood restaurants. The young and hip hang out in front of barraca No 1 – also known as the barraca do Pepê, after the famous Carioca hang-gliding champion who died during a competition in Japan in 1991. The further out you go, the more deserted it gets, and the stalls turn into trailers. It’s calm on weekdays and crazy on hot summer weekends.
