Why not spend a lazy afternoon at Praia Da Enseada das Gaivotas during your trip to Rio das Ostras? Amble around the area's beaches or visit its monuments.
If being by the water is a major draw, Costa Azul Beach is a spot you might want to check out, located 2 mi (3.3 km) from central Rio das Ostras. Catch the sunset by the shore at Praia Da Enseada das Gaivotas, just a short walk away.
