Albeit the stereotypical postcard snapshot, you can't miss Copacabana. At the very least, take a walk up and down the beach to people-watch and catch some volleyball, or if you're feeling more energetic, there are shops on Avenida Atlantica to rent rollerblades or bikes.

I was there in March of 2013. This is the famous Copacabana Beach! Very cool! The beach side of the road has a walkway that has it's own unique graphic pattern. The other side of the road has the hotels where all the famous people stay. I did find that the beach and water were not as nice as the...

We spent 10 days plus around Copacabana and could not fault it. Clean, friendly locals, cheap sun lounger costs, and beautiful sand. Too many vendors selling (during peak seasons) make it less favourable than some of the other local beaches like Leblon. We went a few times as part of my families 1 month visit to Brazil during the Olympics.

I was actually quite disappointed. The beach closer to Ipanema is quite small and not at all spectacular. The closer you get to Sugarloaf the better it gets.

Scenery is gorgeous, people were friendly, water looked enticing but being aware of the sewage and pollution issues i wouldn't swim in it. Made the visit bitter sweet but a stroll along the beach was one for the bucket list!

We visited Copacabana Beach during the Rio Olympics and had an amazing time! We enjoyed seeing celebrities, shopping with the local vendors & eating and drinking at some of the restaurants & bars located around the area. It was always crowded but that was to be expected given the event. We had an awesome time & made lots of amazing...

We arrived the day after the Paralympic events. The timing, though we missed the Olympics, was well worth the visit to Rio! Hotels are tremendously discounted and the Olympic feel is still live and well!! Zika? Didn't see a bug the entire trip, let alone a mosquito! Sounds like media hype to me... Also, Copacabana Beach was well lit, safe...

If you love the beach this is a must see stop. Walk the walkway and take a dip in the sea. Don't forget to get your fresh coconut water right out of the coconut itself! No need to bring a chair or an umbrella you can rent at a minimal price. All you need isa towel.

I was so excited to be living right next to the famous Copacabana beach, and on many occasions it lived up to its billing as a fantastic place to visit.
BUT a few comments watch out for yourself a lot of unsavoury characters so stay alert,also the prices on the beach for food and drink are high but it is...
