About Ipanema Beach

A beautiful beachfront lined with good hotels and apartments. A few big rocks in the sea further beautify the coastline. A lot many tourists and locals flock the beach and partake zealously in the many outdoor gyms and outdoor games on the beach. The specific mosaic pattern on the seaside is very unique. On Sundays, the beach road is closed for normal traffic and is only open for cyclists, skaters and people running and walking creating a festival like activity on the beach. Relaxing ambiance, beautiful beach, happening people so just relax with some drinks and food from a kiosk. Time seems to stand still and you can spend hours on this beach. The water is delightful and with the gorgeous views and with the yummy sun kissing the glorious waters in the background, the setting is just too incredible and has everyone stopping to watch and applaud as the sun sets. If there is a Heaven on earth this may be it!!
