Claudia OrmrodMay 3, 2015The most beautiful beach I ever been. It is surrounded by mountains, that make the place even more special. This beach is probably the most famous in the world, there is a reason for it =)Upvoted Aug 27
Anna ZhdanovaFebruary 1, 2015Amazingly clean and nice place. Its better to come early in the morning, 8 am and it will be spacious and available. In the evening come to one on the cozy restaurants for good drinks, food and mood)
Costas LazaridesDecember 4, 2012Really enjoyed this long walk. Only positive things to say about this world-renowned beach. My only problem is that I am used to swimming and you can rarely be lucky enough to do this here.
Cesar RamirezJanuary 3, 2017A place to find everything and everyone a mixture of locals and visitors. Be aware of your belongings at all times, if you go to Rio is a must bit dint forget the other beaches like ipanema and leblon
Dora MejiaApril 18, 2016You can rent umbrellas & chairs all along the beach. You can find a drinks and live music along the beach at the beach bars as well.
Wake up 1 hour early and go walking on the beach, have a coconut water and do nothing but enjoy the feelings for half an hour.Repeat the steps every morning/evening to try to capture Carioca style :)
naveenJanuary 5, 2015for new years eve, agreed with locals, you'll have to come see fireworks here at least once in your life. (preferably from high up on a roof top)
Thomas ThommyMay 16, 2016Top - a Sunday or Saturday at the beach is a must in Rio de Janeiro the southern side allows even stand up
Andra ZapartanOctober 23, 2015Sooo nice and relaxing.. Be sure you enjoy it with a side of fresh coconut. :)
Michael FriedrichAugust 24, 2019Walk and grab a Caipi to go. Whenever you sit, someone wants to sell you souvenirs. Beautiful beach and view.
- Claudia OrmrodJanuary 22, 2017Amazing beautiful. Surrounded by gorgeous mountains. One of the most beautiful beaches I've been.
Shannon PantsAugust 20, 2016really great place to go for a run/skate/bike. or grab a beer/coconut water and walk along the beach
- Hazal CicconeFebruary 2, 2017My favorite part of holiday! Even though the beach is so crowded. Go there close to 5 pm when sun goes down 🤣
Ana M. Cirujana PlásticaFebruary 2, 2016By history you can't miss it. Like any other beach here will make you feel like you don't need anything else. Be careful with thieves specially with little kids.
Berk KapiciogluMarch 26, 2015If you can find them, get your sculpture built by two Columbian sculpturists at Sua Caricatura em Escultura.
OlympicsMay 15, 2012The famous Copacabana Beach saw Olympic beach volleyball medallists Adriana and Shelda practising here. It will host Olympic triathlon and beach volleyball tournaments in 2016.
Luis UreaMarch 5, 2019At the copa (co) CopacabanaMusic and passion were always the fashionAt the copa they fell in love
Beautiful beach, many services and more importantly, safe. Just be "street smart" 😎
4sq BrazilJuly 21, 2011For sunning, relaxing and people watching, join the thousands who flock each year to this lively, world-famous beach lined with shops, bars, restaurants and hotels.Info by www.stuffon4sq.com Read more- Take caipirinha and enjoy life! One of the best city beaches in the world
Jen BonhommeJanuary 26, 2020Wear sunscreen! ☀️☀️☀️and buy plenty of caipirinhas and cashews for a snack 🏖- Melania SpagnoliAugust 11, 2014Awesome beach all the year! Just enjoy a caipirinha, play beach volley soccer with friends and chill off in the ocean.
EugeneMarch 18, 2020Beach is crowded, traders come to you every 3 minutes, water is not very clean. Seats and umbrellas are payed. No free changing rooms, toilets are payed. It looks like market not the place to rest.
Jamie YoungOctober 17, 2010I am more than a little excited to have become mayor of copacabana beach. I will work with my people to keep it tip top. Try a caipirinha at one of the beach bars.
Emilio CJuly 21, 2014Beautiful beach. There's a reason why it's world famous. Go paddleboarding here!
Jackie FlemingJanuary 31, 2014Eat on the beach restaurants, the prices are the same as everywhere else, the food great, one portion will serve two. Back of Copa, not worth checking out.
Verónica MBMarch 8, 2016For sure not the best beach in the world...most of the days is quite dirty and during the weekends is crowded!
Carlo MDecember 19, 2012This world-famous beach has one of the highest concentration of beautiful people per square mile.
Frankie J. 😎 GreyFebruary 29, 2012Have some free wifi and a nice walking along the beach! on sunday the main street its closed, wohooo!
Hard RockJune 21, 2011In 2006, The Rolling Stones played a free concert at Copacabana for an estimated 1.5 million people (though some say the crowd may have been double that).
English speakers.... Learn a few local phrases, it goes a long way!
Alex TambuJanuary 24, 2015It's sad to say but the area is very very overcrowded. It's also quite dangerous due to the thieves. So in my opinion Copacabana has lost its luster and is not the place to see or be seen any longer.
Olympic GamesMay 15, 2012The famous Copacabana Beach saw Olympic beach volleyball medallists Adriana and Shelda practising here. It will host Olympic triathlon and beach volleyball tournaments in 2016.
One of my favorite places in the world! Just relax and be amazed by the view!- The most beautiful beach in the world... and I have been to many!
