Praia de São Conrado

Attracting those seeking tranquility, São Conrado is also popular with surfers for its good waves despite a history of pollution. Stretching over 2 km with fine, soft sand, it’s framed by mountains, including the imposing Pedra da Gávea. On the right, known as Pepino Beach, you can watch paragliders land from Pedra Bonita or even book a tandem flight.
