It is the continuation of Copacabana Beach, but it has a much calmer atmosphere. We found a large rock formation known as Morro de Leme, there is a viewpoint to have better views. It has some bars where you can have an ice cold beer. The waves are strong and the water is cold, at least in the month of April when we visited. I loved the bronze monument of a Brazilian writer with her dog that is located in this place.

The place is incredible. Several stalls with some umbrellas and chairs, as well as selling drinks and snacks.. The staff at Margareth's stall 17 are very friendly.. There is a walkway along the wall, but be careful with money and cell phones... and now there is also hoses wetting sections of the sand strip, connecting the promenade and the beach.

We stayed here for 10 days as a family of 4 with 2x <10 year olds. The area was safe, even at night, well lit, a reasonable number of decent restaurants (though you can also grab an uber for cheap, so we ate elsewhere >50% of the time). The beach is quieter than the main Copacabana and Ipanema strips, with fewer hawkers and far less traffic (due to the road being a dead end). Highly recommended for young families.
Note, being nearer the rocks, the waves can be slightly rougher, but that also attracts the surfers, which are fun to watch for all ages!

At Leme beach there is no sewage treatment. Sewage is discharged straight in the sea at the canal 1.
I do not recommend to visit that beach.

I'm not a big fan of famous Rio de Janeiro's beaches, but Leme beach has something else totaly worth it and not very known by tourists or even cariocas: "o Forte do Leme", its right on the beginning of the beach, you have to pay R$4 (more or less US$2) to go inside and have a nice walk to the top of the hill, while you see little monkeys, in order to get one of my favorite views of the city. Really worth it, breathtaking views!

Leme is located at the very end of Copacabana beach, If you keep walking towards the hill where you will see a brazilian flag on its top. keep going there you will find a passage called fishermans walk.
Recently they have finished a new kiosk where you can have a seat and may ask for a caipirinha or else a fresh coconut and sip its delicious water, Relax and enjoy the most attractive view of all copacabana beach . I would recomend to do it in the morning or else around 5 pm to see the sundown . I am sure you will love this spot.

The beaches sort of run together. This section is not much different from the others. Beautiful and everything you might want or need is available.

As a matter of fact, "Praia do Leme" and "Praia de Copacabana" are exactly the same beach. "Praia do Leme" is just the very beginning of world acclaimed "Praia de Copacabana". Arriving at "Praia de Copacabana", take your left all the way down and you will arrive at "Morro do Leme", a hill marked by a Brazilian flag at its top, where lies "Forte Duque de Caxias". "Praia do Leme" is about 1km long and is known for its white and soft sands, as well as by its blue, clean and "cold" waters. At the base of "Morro do Leme", a sidewalk - "Caminho dos Pescadores" - circles the hill and is pretty much used by local fishermen. Beach kiosks, with meals, snacks and beverages complete the scene. If time is not a constraint, you can walk all the way up to the fort and flag (only 800m) at a small fee, paid at the fort's entrance. From the top, awesome views of "Pão de Açúcar", "Copacabana" and even Corcovado's "Cristo Redentor". The trail is not very steep and, as it is inside a military area, very safe. One last remark: avoid walking along beach's sidewalk in late evenings. Enjoy!

Alguém sabe informar se nesta praia tem guarda volumes? Onde deixar os pertences...
Written February 13, 2019
Mas praias não tem esse serviço de guarda volumes.
É comum que nas barracas que fornecem serviços de cadeiras e guarda sol, as pessoas deixarem seus pertences, porém não dá para atestar segurança ou confiabilidade.

Pamela, é um lugar seguro, mas qualquer cidade grande, e em épocas festivas, deve-se tomar cuidados. Por exemplo, caso vá andar no calçadão, não utilizar joias etc. Seja muito bem-vinda!
