Copacabana Beach in Rio de Janeiro has long become a kind of calling card of both this city and the whole of Brazil. So, these days it is difficult to meet a person who has never heard anything about this paradise on the ocean shore. We invite you to get to know Copacabana Beach better, learning about its history, as well as what today it can offer to the numerous tourists who come here from all over the world.
Copacabana (beach): description
One of the world's most famous coastal holiday destinations is located south of the center of Rio de Janeiro, at the entrance to Guanabara Bay. It inherited its name from the fishing village that was previously located here. Copacabana (beach) stretches for as much as four kilometers. Surely many have heard about the local embankment, which is called Avenida Atlantica.
Historical reference
The beginning of the history of Copacabana can be considered the mid-18th century, when in a village called Sakupenapana a chapel was erected in honor of the Holy Virgin of Copacabana (a city in Bolivia). At the same time, it was decided to rename the settlement Copacabana. At the end of the 19th century, after the completion of the Real Grandes tunnel and the launch of the first trams, the village was connected to Rio de Janeiro. And a few years later, in 1904, the construction of the embankment began, which today we know as Avenida Atlantica.
Copacabana reached its real heyday by the middle of the last century. So, in the fifties and sixties, representatives of bohemians began to settle in Copacabana (this is the name of not only the beach, but also the entire adjacent area): writers, artists, painters, sculptors. These were mainly Brazilian citizens of European origin. Gradually Copacabana became a very prestigious area. And here not only artists, but also businessmen, politicians, and simply wealthy people from Brazil and other countries began to purchase real estate. Today, Copacabana is a real Mecca for tourists from different parts of the world. It has kilometers of magnificent sandy beaches with many cafes, restaurants, shops, hotels and casinos.
Copacabana Hotels
If you want to live in close proximity to this world famous beach, where the noise and fun does not subside around the clock, 365 days a year, then you should choose hotels located right on the coast. The most luxurious of them is the five-star Copacabana Palace. It offers everything that vacationers could need: from sun loungers and beauty salons and shops to conference rooms.
The four-star hotels Arena Copacabana and Windsor Excelsior are very popular. It is interesting that on their territory there is not only a banal sauna, but also a Russian bathhouse. If you want to save money, then it is quite possible to find more budget options for accommodation.
Restaurants and cafes
Copacabana (beach) boasts a wide variety of bars, cafes and restaurants to suit every taste. The Carretao restaurant is considered the most elite here. The most colorful place can be called the Copacabana establishment, the design of which recreated the atmosphere of the thirties-fifties of the last century.
You can have a very tasty and economical lunch at a restaurant called “Churrascaria”. Here you only need to pay for admission, dessert and drinks. Meat is served to guests in unlimited quantities. It should be noted that such restaurants are quite common in Rio and are very popular among both Brazilians and numerous tourists.
Entertainment
Due to the large number of different clubs, nightlife lovers will not be bored. The most popular among tourists is disco 2A2. Another notable place is the nightly Six with three dance floors and five bars. Local residents also love to visit it.
Beach in Brazil Copacabana: concerts
This beach is also known as the largest concert venue in Rio. Various world-famous musicians have performed here more than once: Elton John, Lenny Kravitz and many others. In 1994, a grandiose show by performer Rod Stewart took place in Copacabana, which was watched by four million people. This event was so large-scale that it was even included in the Guinness Book of Records. In 2006, Copacabana (beach) again hosted a grand concert. This time it was given by the group The. Two million people came to listen to these veterans of the scene.
I was really looking forward to getting to the ocean when I arrived in Rio. I am happy that my first meeting with the Atlantic took place here. Such moments become historical even in the life of an ordinary person. It was at Copacabana that I touched the world's oceans and one of the best beaches.
The place turned out to be both simple and chic; it was both easy and interesting. I was pleased with the beauty of the raging ocean and the diversity of vacationers, the beauty of coastal buildings and the huge length of clean, white sand. All together gave a great feeling of satisfaction for a short stay on the beach.
The history of the most famous beach
Copacabana is perhaps the most famous beach in the world. Since the middle of the last century, it has become the emblem of Brazil, an example of vibrant life on the Atlantic Ocean. Initially it was just a fishing village. Over time, a road was built to it, and a chic Avenida Atlantica street appeared next to the ocean. And yet, Copacabana’s high point passed in the 90s of the last century. He made an unforgettable contribution to the beach, bohemian lifestyle across the planet. Just think that now such familiar bikinis are worn everywhere. But there were days when only the most notorious and daring fashionistas decided to wear these extravagant “clothes” for that time at Copacabana. It was then that famous people from cinema, art, and politics began to spend time on the beach, in sun loungers, restaurants and nightclubs, dressing here in the boutiques of famous designers and visiting beauty salons right on the beach. Just look at the Rolling Stones concert that took place on this very sand in 1980! The world's largest concert venue is also here! Elton John, Lenny Kravitz and other celebrities performed there. And today this unique, historical beach attracts people of all social levels from all over the world.
How to get there
There are different ways to get to Copacabana Beach. This is true if you rent a hotel quite far from it. There is a small, convenient metro station. Cardeal Arcoverde, Siqueira Campos or Cantalago stations are nearby, but you will have to walk a couple of blocks. The cost of one trip is approximately 1.5 dollars (5 reais). A taxi will take you directly to the beach. Yellow ones in the city are cheaper than red and blue ones, equipped with air conditioning. Taxi fare is approximately 3 dollars (10 reais).
If you suddenly have to get to the beach late in the evening from a distant area or, on the contrary, return home almost at night, take into account the peculiarities. Tickets for the train are sold only until ten in the evening, and it runs until one in the morning. So it is better to have tickets for many trips in advance. I found myself in a similar situation, transport was running, but I couldn’t get there. Friendly local residents helped and took us with them on buses with transfers. Metro and buses run regularly until midnight.
Where to stay
So, the first thing I wanted to do when I arrived in Rio de Janeiro was to look at the ocean. To do this, we had to stay in a hotel or hostel not far from the main beaches within walking distance. Rio has metro, buses, and trains, but wasting time getting to the beaches in hot, crowded transport is very inconvenient. Beautiful, snow-white hotels rise right opposite the most famous beach. It is near Copacabana that it makes sense to settle in a tourist area. There are good reasons for this: ocean views, accessibility to the ocean and all beach infrastructure, safety.
The most famous in the world is Copacabana Palace. Five star hotel. Living in it, there is no need to look for a separate beauty salon or conference room. Everything is fully included!
The beach is so large that the choice of four and three star hotels is also unlimited. Moving a little deeper into the city, it is easy to come across many different types of hotels and hostels. I lived in a cozy hostel on the mountain, within walking distance from the beach, among shady streets adjacent directly to the huge forest park of Rio. In such a house, cute monkeys come running from the forest for breakfast and you can feed them. Walking to the beach for half an hour is not too difficult, especially since the cool ocean waves await you.
Ocean line
The beach is really very beautiful. The coastline is long and straight, the sand is snow-white. There is no division into parts. To the left and right rise green mountains, characteristic of Rio. On the contrary, a few kilometers from the coast, magical green islands loom. Its picturesque view is unique. There is enough space for thousands of people to dance on New Year's Eve. Millions of tourists sunbathe and swim here every year; these are ordinary people and world celebrities, actors, and fashion models. According to a strange tradition, it is creative people who have loved this beach for decades.
The waves here are high, foaming, and quite dangerous. The clear water of the open Atlantic Ocean is cool and very salty. You need to be a skilled swimmer and a brave person to easily enter the ocean. Usually people just stand near the shore, watching the waves and approaching them at a safe distance. But surf lovers appreciate Copacabana! They can dance on high waves all day long, delighting less daring tourists. Watching the ocean is very pleasant, especially if you don’t pay attention to the intrusive traders. They scream quite loudly, and as soon as you look at someone, they immediately run up. Inexpensive beach hats, pareos, scarves and glasses can be easily bargained for if necessary. There are paid sun loungers and umbrellas on the beach, their average price is 3 dollars (10 reais). It’s very nice to buy yourself any trinket or useful thing from the famous beach! A souvenir will cost 1.5-6 dollars (5 to 20 reais).
Leisure
Rio de Janeiro loves sports! This can be seen on Copacabana Beach. In the morning people run along the shore, although during the day too. Active vacationers play tennis. You can witness a volleyball championship or watch football players train. There is an opportunity to ride bicycles and rollerblades. For this purpose there are separate paths and areas closer to Avenida Atlantica.
Boats will take anyone out into the open ocean for about 50 reais ($15). However, most vacationers prefer to sunbathe and relax. Children play in the sand at the water's edge; it is dangerous to go into the water without their parents. In general, Capacabana is not the best option for families with children. It is very noisy here, there are a lot of people, it is easy to lose your child in the unfriendly waves. The beach is more suitable for adults. In addition, it is ideal for interesting acquaintances between people from different countries, for those who want to find friends in Brazil. The main thing is to stay safe and be attentive to who you meet.
Sand covers the entire beach, the shore is clean, and it is cleaned regularly. There are many designated outdoor showers closer to the exits and sidewalks. I was surprised that no one uses the locker rooms here. They simply don't exist! It is customary to dry off in the sun and get dressed, or leave straight in a swimsuit.
I enjoyed walking along the beach line, dipping my feet into the soft sand, enjoying the tidal wave, seeing such a variety of holidaymakers. I walked the entire length of the beach from beginning to end - 4 kilometers. On Avenida Atlantica it is easy to find a suitable cafe, a light cool drink, or buy a souvenir, such as jewelry made of semi-precious stones. They are made well in Brazil and are a good choice in Rio.
Beach Safety
Once, on the Copacabana beach, I watched a beautiful sunset gently moving to the right, behind the mountain, giving amazing reddish heavenly reflections. During these hours, the beach changes, acquiring a special charm. In the evening there are few people, the ocean darkens and fascinates with its mysteries. You can't let your guard down. Copacabana is quite safe during the day, but in the evenings they can really get robbed. A street vendor at dusk, offering his goods, tried to take away the bag with his foot! So you should be careful.
Unfortunately, the beach has acquired another, less pleasant fame. It is also one of the most unsafe beaches on the planet in terms of criminal activity. Fraudsters, thieves, drug dealers and prostitutes work here. Come swim without all your valuables, be careful with the people you meet, walk only in the busy part of the beach at night and you are guaranteed a good rest. In general, it is believed that Copacabana Beach is the best beach in Rio for watching the sunrise; here it is especially beautiful. The sun at the peak of the Brazilian summer is unbearably hot, and you can get a serious burn if you forget to use sunscreen for several days. The hat will also become an indispensable friend. The water remains cool at the height of the Brazilian summer, about 23 degrees Celsius. There are lifeguards on the beach who work constantly.
Nightlife Copacabana
At night the beach is bustling with life. I was lucky enough to visit Copacabana on the night of the famous Brazilian carnival. It is here that this holiday is vigorously celebrated by the locals. They are relaxing at this time, and for them this is just a reason to truly relax. Cafes are open all night. People drink ice-cold alcoholic drinks, eat, sing and dance. They are all dressed in light carnival costumes and walk around with painted faces. The atmosphere is relaxed, fun and light. Along the entire beach, on the sidewalks, Brazilian souvenirs are sold: scarves, jewelry, wicker baubles, paintings, souvenirs and much more. Of course, the most important festivities begin well after midnight.
Throughout the year, nightlife at Copacabana is constantly in full swing. These are unique nightclubs and discos. Nightclub Six, where there are as many as five dance floors. Bombar Redux is a place where samba is watched or danced. You just need to at least try to learn how to dance samba in Brazil! The soul of this people is reflected in these free and fiery movements.
Special attractions "Copacabana"
I was able to see one of the famous sand figures that are being built at Copacabana. They asked to pay for the photo next to it. It was the face of some celebrity. Such figure festivals are held here often, and this is another feature of Copacabana. You can even attend a master class on creating your own sand masterpiece.
Where to eat
They sell a lot of drinks, with ice, ice water and juices. Specialty: shrimp skewers. On normal days, there are cafes, shops, and boutiques near the beach. Restaurants and cafes will delight you with generous Brazilian cuisine. It's very convenient to dine by simply paying entry and getting access to unlimited meat and sweets at Churrascaria. All this will cost 5-6 dollars (15-20 reais)
A person entering the Copacabana restaurant finds himself in the atmosphere of the 30-50s of the last century. Average prices in the restaurant are quite high: 50 dollars (160 reais), but the food is very tasty, cozy and clean.
New Year's Eve at Copacabana
If you manage to be there on New Year's Eve, you will see a miracle! Thousands of people in snow-white clothes come here to throw fresh flowers into the water. The national holiday is called the night of the sea goddess Yemanji, or Reveillon. White roses and gladioli are given to her as a gift. Then people hug and kiss. Crazy dancing all night, a sea of emotions, delight and love cleanse them on the first night of the new year. The sky is illuminated by the bright lights of fireworks. Even a month after the New Year, along the entire beach line I saw fragments of the holiday - white roses on the sand. At this time, hotel prices increase several times, so it is better to book in advance.

Many people get so carried away by the holiday that they no longer notice anything around them in the crowd. This creates an excellent opportunity for petty thieves to steal your phone or wallet.
So, be sure to experience the nightlife of Copacabana, take away a souvenir from here and soak up the sun and salt of the Atlantic!

Copacabana waterfrontInitially, a fishing settlement was located on the site of the beach. In the middle of the 18th century, a chapel was built here, named after a Bolivian maiden from the city of Copacabana. Soon the village itself was renamed from Sakupenapana to Copacabana. The coastal zone became a full-fledged part of Rio de Janeiro at the end of the 19th century after the launch of the tram through the Real Grandes tunnel. At the beginning of the twentieth century, the Avenida Atlantica embankment was built. Today, 3 million tourists visit it annually. And locals call Copacabana beach “the princess of the sea.” And for good reason, because according to a survey by the popular online magazine AskMen, the beach is recognized as one of the most beautiful on earth, where tropical exoticism and urban landscapes of Rio harmoniously combine.

Preparing for the New Year
Brazilians love holidays and know how to have fun. If a holiday is planned in the near future, then they approach its organization with great responsibility and attention. That is why many tourists are already carefully planning their New Year's holidays in Brazil. But since the hot climate of the southern hemisphere is not conducive to having fun under the bright sun, the holidays in Brazil begin in the evening and last all night.
As soon as the waves of the ocean are illuminated by the last rays of the setting sun, locals and thousands of guests in a single impulse begin to say goodbye to the old year and welcome the new year. No one is left on the sidelines, because this is a holiday that everyone is waiting for.
When in Russia the weather is not at all conducive to a pleasant outdoor recreation, when everything is covered with snow and frosts dominate, summer in Rio de Janeiro is in full swing. But the heat does not stop local residents from preparing for the long-awaited night. Already several months before the holiday, Christmas trees are erected, although artificial, but no less charming. They are decorated with traditional decorations, and the streets are illuminated with colorful illuminations.
At the same time, not only public places are decorated, but also private houses. Brazilians decorate their homes themselves using Christmas trees and other traditional decorations. All this beauty pleases the eye until mid-January. Moreover, all this time people are having fun and having a great time on holidays with their friends, acquaintances and relatives.
New Year's Carnival in Rio
The Brazilian New Year's Carnival is a unique combination of ancient rituals with European culture. In fact, many tourists are attracted by the New Year's carnival in Rio de Janeiro, as it is a truly unforgettable holiday. If for Europeans the New Year is a family holiday, an opportunity to spend the day with loved ones, relatives and friends, then for the residents of Brazil it is an excellent opportunity to appease the spirits, following the traditions of their Afro-Indian ancestors.
Every year they prepare gifts to the African goddess Imanja, who, according to legend, was the patroness of all sailors. Gifts to the goddess are candles, which are installed and set on fire on a special stand made of wood, released into the water, making the most cherished wish and observing. If the candle does not go out for a long time, then the wish made is more likely to come true in the near future.
Brazilians also bring white flowers as gifts. That is why, when heading to Brazil to celebrate the New Year holidays, do not forget that you will need to buy a bouquet. By throwing them into the water, Brazilians make a wish, and if the flowers are not washed ashore by the surf, the wish will come true.
The holiday by the sea begins at 10 pm. Closer to midnight, you can hear numerous pops of champagne corks opening, until by 12 they merge into a continuous cannonade. Brazilians loudly count down the cherished seconds before the New Year right on the Atlantic coast, and immediately after this a magnificent pyrotechnic show begins.
Thousands of people in white clothes are illuminated by the light of a grandiose fireworks display, the sparks of which fall into the ocean. This sight is so wonderful that it is worth going to the other side of the world to see it. That is why the New Year's holiday in Rio de Janeiro is worth spending with your loved ones, giving a carefree holiday and a great mood.
In the first minutes of the New Year, everyone congratulates each other, shouting “Feliz Ano Novo!” (which means “Happy New Year!”) and drink sparkling drinks while watching the fireworks.
While the lights of the New Year's fireworks ascending into the sky illuminate the ocean and millions of people who meet it on Copacabana beach, one of the most unique Christmas trees in the whole world shines with its beauty in the Lagoon di Freitas (its height is more than eighty meters) and it is installed on the water .
