Symbol of music, art and bohemia, with the Morro Dois Irmãos in the background, from there you can have one of the finest views of the city.
Throughout its history, the beauty and charm of this beach served as inspiration for poets, writers and composers.
The Ipanema Beach became widely known by the song “The Girl from Ipanema” (“Garota de Ipanema”), written by Antonio Carlos Jobim and Vinícius de Moraes, with English lyrics written later by Norman Gimbel.
An extensive bike path and several kiosks flank the 2.6-kilometers sidewalk by the beach, which stretches from the Arpoador to Jardim de Alah (Alah Garden). The beach is used for practice of various sports, including the skiboard surfing, racquetball, volleyball, soccer and foot-volley. Ipanema beach is often a place of outdoors concerts.
