The 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 =)

Amazingly 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)

Really 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.

A 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

You 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 :)

Walk and grab a Caipi to go. Whenever you sit, someone wants to sell you souvenirs. Beautiful beach and view.
Andra ZapartanOctober 23, 2015
Sooo nice and relaxing.. Be sure you enjoy it with a side of fresh coconut. :)

for 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)

My favorite part of holiday! Even though the beach is so crowded. Go there close to 5 pm when sun goes down 🤣

By 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.
Claudia OrmrodJanuary 22, 2017
Amazing beautiful. Surrounded by gorgeous mountains. One of the most beautiful beaches I've been.

If you can find them, get your sculpture built by two Columbian sculpturists at Sua Caricatura em Escultura.

Great beach with plenty of bars and eateries outside of the beach

Amazing view, a must go point.

Beach 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.

The famous Copacabana Beach saw Olympic beach volleyball medallists Adriana and Shelda practising here. It will host Olympic triathlon and beach volleyball tournaments in 2016.

I 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.

Wonderful beach, it’s marvelous to walk there and enjoy the view
Jackie FlemingJanuary 31, 2014
Eat 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.

Your stay will be much more enjoyable after 3rd caipirinha for 15 BRL.

They have great wings!! And the view is out of this world!
Alex TambuJanuary 24, 2015
It'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.
Verónica MBMarch 8, 2016
For sure not the best beach in the world...most of the days is quite dirty and during the weekends is crowded!
Melania SpagnoliAugust 11, 2014
Awesome beach all the year! Just enjoy a caipirinha, play beach volley soccer with friends and chill off in the ocean.
Monica RublyApril 20, 2014

In 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).

Don't buy stuff from people selling on the beach. There are small street markets across the street and they sell things way cheaper.
