Some pictures of Grumari Beach in Rio de Janeiro
Hi there! In another post I was talking about Grumari Beach in Rio de Janeiro. So why not have a look in some pictures (so you can have a better idea on why I am so excited about this beach). There are many beaches in the coast of Rio de Janeiro (hundreds in Brazil), but if you want an advice don't go to Rio and spend all of your time in Ipanema and Copacabana. I love those places as well, but if you want to feel a bit more of nature... visit Grumari.

Visit Grumari in Rio for a relaxing day
Hi guys,
Today I want to write about my favorite beach in the city of Rio de Janeiro. I'ts Grumari beach, with its white sand and fabulous and clean open sea - ideal for a good and refreshing swimming day.
Grumari is located in the west zone of Rio de Janiero at 20 kilometers from Barra da Tijuca Beach.
If your are staying in the South Zone you will need a car or a bus to get there. You can use public buses towards "Recreio dos Bandeirantes" (pay attention to this direction).
If you are in Barra da Tijuca, then is even easier to get there - it's in the same coast line.
If you have access to a guide or a bus tour ask for a visit in Grumari.
What is so special about Grumari? First of all its a natural reserve, it is not a residential area, so there are no skyscrapers or houses or shops around. That makes this beach a very special place, and also clean and relaxed. If you are visiting Rio de janeiro, it's more likely that you will spend most of your time in the South Zone, at Copacabana or Ipanema. You should definitely visit those beaches of course, but don't miss the chance to visit Grumari. Also, alongside Grumari, this remote paradise, there is "Prainha"known by this strong waves. "Prainha" has became famous among surfers, so if you like to surf in brazilian style, go to Praianha (just beside Grumari).
When visiting Grumari, take your own bottle of water and lunch box with snacks with you, as there are no shops around. But in the end of the beach there are some organic and traditional restaurants selling fresh seafood during lunch time. It's very good and I recommend. Ask for prawns (camarao) or Moqueca (Fish stew).
