About

Seal Beach is located on the South Atlantic Ocean (part of Atlantic ocean) and it is in the 71th place out of 375 beaches in the Rio de Janeiro region 137.5 km away from its center, the city of Rio de Janeiro. It is one of the beaches of Armacao dos Buzios settlement, just 1.1 km from its center. The beach is located in a natural place with very picturesque views, surrounded by the cliffs.
