A short cove in Urca tucked under the Sugarloaf cable car. The flat Claudio Coutinho track runs from the end of the beach around the base of the rock, an easy walk with monkeys and open sea. The steeper trail up Morro da Urca also starts here.

Pros
  • +Jungle trail right off the sand
  • +Very safe and calm water
  • +Sugarloaf towering above
Cons
  • No drones near the cable car
  • Small beach, busy on weekends
