Description

Essentials about Guaratiba in brief

If you want to escape the vibrant city life and noise of Rio de Janeiro and spend some time in a quieter part of town with a beautiful bay, tranquil beaches and excellent seafood restaurants, head to Guaratiba.

The location of Guaratiba

Guaratiba is the most southwestern district of Rio and is located directly on the Atlantic Ocean. Due to its location at the edge of the Baía de Sepetiba, visitors mainly find mangrove swamps in Guaratiba. The beautiful Marambaia sandbank is located in front of the district in the sea, but it is inaccessible to visitors because it is a restricted military area.

The gastronomy scene and beaches of Guaratiba

Guaratiba is especially known for its gastronomic scene, which has some of the best fish and seafood restaurants in Rio. Also, on the Guaratiba coast between Grumari and Guaratiba are some of the most remote and natural beaches in Rio de Janeiro (such as Perigoso Beach, Funda Beach and Inferno Beach). To some of the beaches you have to hike more than an hour. Therefore, due to the remoteness of the beaches, you should not go alone if possible.
