Brazil Beaches: Brazil beaches from Rio, Nordeste, Bahia and Santa Catarina

Since the sixties, Ipanema Beach (Praia de Ipanema) has become Rio de Janeiro's most sophisticated beach. Copacabana, the star of previous years, became too popular - the price to pay for its fame. Leblon, next to Ipanema, was a too familiar one at that time.

The Girl from Ipanema
Even with new beaches that become the new stars - mainly among the young people - in Barra da Tijuca and beyond (Recreio dos Bandeiras, Grumari), Ipanema stay a select beach. Rio's best hotels, bars and restaurants are situated in this borough. It seems that Ipanema has been immortalized by Tom Jobim's song, The Girl from Ipanema.
