If you're planning a bit of sightseeing head to Posto 12— just one of the monuments in Recreio dos Bandeirantes. Why not take a stroll along the beaches and watch the sunset while you're here?
If want to top up your tan, you might want to head out to Recreio dos Bandeirantes Beach, located 20.2 mi (32.5 km) from central Rio de Janeiro. If you want to continue walking by the waves, head to Pontal Beach located nearby.
