It's copa. The center in Rio. (As far as I'm concerned!) It's a great walk with some food and souvenirs. I've been there a few times on different occasions and have never been harassed or felt unsafe. I only walk on the sand never even a splash into the water.

Absolutely beautiful, clean beach with great vendors, drinks and food. Love the caiparinhas. Visited during the 2016 Olympics which was a lot of fun

So much to see and do as you walk the waves/boardwalk on Copacabana. Be aware of your surroundings but know that we had no safety or security issues whatsoever. Chair rentals are cheap but best to avoid the other hacks.

Granted, we were there at a busy time, but the vendors drive us nuts. No time to relax and enjoy the experience. Great little outdoor bars with fun drinks, live music and good food . I was just happy to be there but wanted to relax.

We visited the beach twice, once on 'an expected' sunny day and the other on 'an unexpected' wet day but enjoyed it both times.
The beach is a wide sandy one and basically it is a big C stretching some 4km. On the sunny day, the beach was packed with people either just sunbathing,swimming or using one of the myriad...

Definitely Copacabana is the most well known place in Rio. It is good for an afternoon sporting activity.nduring sundays Avenida Atlantica closes to the dars and it is only for public. You can have a nice walk seat in tge kiosks and enjoy. Beautiful place. If you want to swim better go to Ipanema beach.

Ok, so its not one if those picture postcard pacific island type of beaches, but it's a real joy to visit with a down to earth happiness and busyness. Big old waves (in August) so not a kids paddling place. And a fantastic people-watching venue!

Copacabana Beach is clean, tidy and offers facilities (providing you pay for them, but they're not expensive at all. Priced roughly between R$ 4-6) like showers, toilets and lockers etc. The beach is used by mainly tourists and has a great atmosphere. There are locals that sell things by the beach- but they don't hassle tourists if you are not...
