NEIGHBOURS OF BARRA DA TIJUCA:
An extension of Barra da Tijuca Beach, Rio de Janeiro, is called Praia do Pepê. This name was given to the beach, cause Pepê was the nickname of a young boy selling beer, mineral water and home made, natural sandwiches at the beach. He died some years ago while hanggliding at the area. As he was very popular, people decided to give his name to the small extension of the beach.
At the end of Barra da Tijuca, Rio de Janeiro, we find Recreio dos Bandeirantes beach and neighbourhood.
After Barra da Tijuca and Recreio, you will find Prainha and Grumari beaches. Their perfect waves made them both famous. Grumari and Prainha are on a biological reservation area, with restricted car parking spaces. Enjoy calmly these between mountains beaches on week-days, because they get pretty crowded on weekends.
