About

Antigos Beach is located on the South Atlantic Ocean (part of Atlantic ocean) and it is in the 44th place out of 375 beaches in the Rio de Janeiro region 152.3 km away from its center, the city of Rio de Janeiro. It is one of the beaches of Sono settlement, just 1.4 km from its center. The beach is located in a natural place, among the mountains. It is partially covered by trees which give natural shade.

It is a spacious coastline with crystal turquoise water and pure bright fine sand, so you don't need special shoes. The sharpness of entering the water is quite normal. This beach is suitable for different categories of people, lonely travellers, relaxation getaway lovers, hikers etc. It is not crowded place during the season.

Antigos Beach coast is free for all. It has no amenities, only nature. .

In addition to swimming and sunbathing, you can also take part in other activities. There are also some surf spots.

To get to the beach, you need to walk along a mountain trail more than 1km long.

5 more beaches are also available within a 5 km radius. The best one is Praia do Sono, which has a rating of 8.4.

Antigos Beach (Rio de Janeiro) is located outside the Sono settlement, which may cause some difficulties for travelers who stay far from the coast. However, the remoteness from the village is not always a bad thing. Lovers of quiet rest know, the farther the beach, the fewer crowds.

The beach stretches on the sunny coast, but accessing the beach requires traversing some distance on foot. While driving or cycling are the most convenient options for reaching the start point of trail, these methods may not be feasible for everyone. Alternatively, a taxi can be used to drive directly to the location. Public transportation is another option, but it's important to confirm the correct route with locals beforehand as the bus stop may be located at some distance.

The hike to the beach is definitely worth it. The beach itself is stunning and truly feels like a paradise.

This beach can only be reached by trail from Praia do Sono and is quite secluded. There are some creeks that flow into the beach and plenty of shaded areas to relax in. The waves can be quite strong, so I would only recommend it for sunbathing. It's important to note that since it's not a popular spot, swimming can be dangerous without anyone around to help. Additionally, camping is not allowed on the beach as it is part of the Joatinga Reserve.

The beach is stunning and offers great waves, but it's important to be cautious of the current that can pull you out to sea. Unfortunately, there are no signs to warn of the danger, so it's best to be extra careful. If you do get caught in a current, try to swim parallel to the shore and then make your way back to the beach once you're out of it. Safety should always be a top priority when enjoying the beach.

The beach is stunning and secluded, with a small path leading to Antiguinhos beach. You can reach it by boat from Vila do Oratório or by taking the Tb trail. The natural pool is peaceful, and the water at the beach is crystal clear with gentle waves and shallow depths. During Carnival, the boat ride costs 50.00 per person, but the beach is still quiet, even on holidays, with no vendors or kiosks. Additionally, there's a trail that leads to Praia do Sono, and halfway through, there's a lookout point.

I stumbled upon the beach path by chance and decided to check it out around 6:30 AM. It was a peaceful walk and I didn't encounter anyone on the trail or at the beach. I had the entire beach to myself for about 20 minutes before others started arriving. The beach is stunning and definitely worth visiting.
