Beaches - Praia do Remanso

Formed into a small cove by large boulders, this is a good beach for children because the boulders also form small ponds. The water is warm, green and fairly clear especially in summer months.

Situated in Costazul, near Tocolândia and the Praça da Baleia. The area is lined with sidewalks, decks and playgrounds near the sand.

Beaches - Praia da Joana

Small in size and huge in charm, Praia da Joana is part of the "Monumento Natural dos Costões Rochosos" of Rio das Ostras.
