A nice beach with big waves. We felt safe spending a whole evening at one of the little bars at the beach. Good option if you want to get away from Zona Sul for a while. Recreio is much calmer and fewer tourists.

This neighborhood is not yet known by many tourists and its visitors are mainly locals going for a stroll on the long stretch of this white sandy beach. We always stay by Posto 10 where my cousin resides. Many bring their dogs, some play beach volleyball. There is a long bike lane by the beach which can get pretty jammed on the weekends. If you arrive very early in the morning, it will be filled by surfers. It is also well guarded by lifeguards. If the waves are too high and unsafe to swim, you will see red flags warning beach goers of the condition of the beach. You will also find plenty of beach chairs and beach umbrellas for rental. The beach is also filled with vendors selling food and artifacts. I would be skeptical to by food or beverages that are not prepackaged by a known manufacturer. I do recommend drinking coconut water straight from the source. Vendors are pretty skilled when it comes to cracking the top of the coconut and inserting a straw.
What I like most about this neighborhood is that it is filled with Kiosks selling food and drinks. They all have a table with an umbrella and chairs and its atmosphere are beach casual. You can enjoy your beer or your Caipirinha ( brazilian cocktail ) overlooking the ocean.
I recommend visiting Rio between May and September. The temperature will be mild, there will be plenty of sunshine, and the beach will be less crowded.
I would be very careful when visiting Rio in general. Be mindful of your belongings, do not leave items unattended and avoid wearing expensive items. Most important, if you can avoid looking like a tourist, please do so.

Miles long sandy beach with many hotels and high-rise apartment buildings, tends to be cleaner than most, and fairly empty, except on summer weekends. The many kiosks offer food and drink, plus beach gear for rent.

one of the best beaches in Rio if you like big waves. Be very careful because even though you are close to the coast it can be difficult to get out.

This beach is a little gem. You wont see any skyscapers and not many tourists as well. Its more a getaway for Rio locals or people living in a close town. Great for surfing.

Clean, not as long a beach as Barra da Tijuca, crowded on weekends, a nice place to stay and have some leisure time. Strong tide, beware of the waves. Very nice.

I stayed for 16 days in Rio, most of which I spent in recreio dos Bandeirantes. I was 10 minutes away from the beach. Every day i came went. And after experiencing both of the other popular tourist beaches. this was the best. in 5 hours i spent there once....during the peak time. I heard only 4 guys selling goods, food, drinks. which if youve been to the others, its a little more stressfull. It was so tranquil and calm and the beach was relativly spacious, i had so much space for my area. all the regular beach bars and food stands around. Just minus the tourists. Why? because its so dam far just to go to the beach. This area is about 45 travel time from the centre. its a perfect place to come home to after a days sightseeing in the centre. 100% recommend . the beach is as gorgeous as the rest. Theres all the ameanities. Its calm and quiet & safe.

Oi, Juliana. Boa noite.
A média de valor eh Rs5$ a cadeira e R$10$ o guarda sol. No entanto, depende muito de barraca para barraca. Mas não aumenta muito disso. Tem algumas barracas que se vc consumir no local podem até fazer um desconto ou mesmo isentar. Tudo depende, mas deve antes com certeza ver no local. Tudo de bom para vc. Aproveite a paisagem bucólica, a praia excelente e o entorno. Carpem die.
Hola me gustaría saber sobre la seguridad si es peligroso recorrer de noche en Recreio.graciass

Do Aeroporto do Galeão para o Recreio dos Bandeirantes há transporte público? Favor indicar a rota. Ainda, qual o tempo médio de viagem até o Recreio pelo transporte público?

Bom dia José, hj é possível utilizar o BRT, existe um ponto dentro do GIG, nele é possível vir até o recreio, só precisa ficar ligado no trajeto, pois não tenho certeza se já está disponível uma linha direta, caso ainda seja necessário fazer baldeação, você precisará ir até a rodoviária da Alvorada, que fica na Barra da Tijuca, bairro vizinho ao Recreio dos Bandeirantes, e de lá pegar uma linha que vá para o Recreio. Esse trajeto dura em média 1:30h.
Como faço para ir do terminal alvorada para a praia do recreio, altura do posto 12, de ônibus ?
