Let's go to Rio?What are the must-see places in Rio de Janeiro?

Rio holds some of the greatest treasures of the Brazilian coast, let's see which places are a must stop during your boat hire!

• From Marina da Glória, for example, you can already take a full tour of Guanabara Bay, one of the most beautiful in the world, with exclusive views of some of Rio's most beautiful spots, such as Sugar Loaf, Christ the Redeemer and even the beautiful Rio-Niteroi Bridge.
• In a prime location, at the foot of Sugarloaf Mountain, is Praia Vermelha, a favorite for swimming or relaxing on the sand, with its calm waters and stunning views.
• Following along the coast, we arrive at Praia do Leme, a continuation of the famous Copacabana Beach, but less crowded and hectic than this one. Both offer an incredible day for swimming and sunbathing, but if you are from the team that likes more tranquility and quiet, or if you want to practice sports like wakeboarding or water-skiing and are worried about the number of bathers, Leme Beach is for you.
• Coming now to the surfer's paradise, the Diabo and Arpoador Beaches, divided by the Pedra do Arpoador, overlooking the Morro Dois Irmãos and Pedra da Gávea, with stronger waves and suitable for surfing. Moreover, have you ever imagined watching the sun set on Pedra do Arpoador from the deck of your own boat?
• Ipanema Beach, despite also being busy, is a good choice for sunbathing, since it offers a large strip of sand and calmer waters.
• The Leblon Beach, known as a stopping point for the famous, is also a good place to enjoy a day of sun and diving in waters of an impressive blue, but it is not ideal for those seeking tranquility. For those traveling with children, the Mirante do Leblon is a good place to visit. Just dock your boat and take a tour!
• Joatinga Beach is a place that actually only "exists" when the tide is low, and its strip of sand becomes visible, i.e., it is a perfect beach to visit during a boat ride. With crystal clear waters, it is especially sought after by surf lovers. Stay the tip!
• Barra da Tijuca Beach is the largest, in length, in the city. Owner of a strip of white sand and waters of an intense blue, it holds fun for the whole family, from a good sunbathing or diving to surfing and other water sports.

If your interest is in escaping the typical tourist spots and creating a more original or quiet itinerary, Click&Boat helps you too. Check out some lesser known beaches in Rio:

• Macumba Beach, ideal for surfers with its strong tide and year-round waves, also owns a beautiful deep blue sea.
• Secreto Beach is another ideal beach to visit by boat, since it also only "exists" when the tide is low. There the sea is gentle and forms beautiful natural pools, perfect for a quiet day with family, away from the crowds.
• More ahead, we have Prainha, another surfer's paradise, this one is really off the tourist route and little known. Privacy and quiet are guaranteed.
• Grumari Beach is for those who really want to disconnect from the city and urban distractions and make a complete immersion in nature and enjoy the white sand, clean blue sea and silence.

Make a list of the beaches you want to visit in Rio de Janeiro, define your travel needs (going with kids? going for the day, weekend? are you on a tight budget?), choose your boat and get aboard!
