Arpoador Beach – One of the best Surf Spot in Rio de Janeiro<\/strong><\/em><\/p><\/div>\n

Arpoador<\/strong>, one of the most visited beaches in Brazil, is a neighborhood sandwiched between two of the popular beaches, viz. Copacabana<\/a> and Ipanema<\/a>. The beach offers stunning views of the sunset and is highly-picked by the families and surfers. This 500m-long beach featuring crystalline water, is somewhat quieter than the other beaches. Equipped with floodlights for night surfing and about 3m-tall breakers, the Arpoador Beach is regarded as the best surf spot in Rio.<\/p>\n

Arpoador Rock<\/span><\/h2>\n

The imposing Arpoador Rock<\/em> is the main highlight of the beach. This rock was named after the Portuguese settlers and locals of Brazil, who used to hunt whales from the rock using a harpoon to strike them. The word Arpoador means \u201charpoon thrower.\u201d The rocks at the beach have trails for a leisure walk. From here you can also enjoy the views of the sunrise and sunset. People also love to dive into the sea from the cliffs.<\/p>\n
