About

Praia de Iguacu is located on the South Atlantic Ocean (part of Atlantic ocean) and it is in the 280th place out of 375 beaches in the Rio de Janeiro region 103.5 km away from its center, the city of Rio de Janeiro. It is one of the beaches of Enseada das Estrelas 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.

Praia de Iguacu 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.

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

Praia de Iguacu (Rio de Janeiro) is located outside the Enseada das Estrelas 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 coast of the Grande island and the correct question is not how to get to Praia de Iguacu, but what mode of transport can be used to get to it, because this part of the coast is inaccessible by land. The beach can only be reached by water and you have to rent a boat to get there.

The sandbar is petite and the water is more profound.

Long stretch of shoreline with a few residences overlooking the beach and lacking any dining amenities. Simply for the sake of exploration.

Gorgeous pristine sandy shore, which we arrived at on foot from Abraao. Entry is located at the far western side of the beach, via a rather hazardous and steep trail, as the central area of the beach is taken up by a resort and entry is restricted there.

Yet another stunning beach, boasting warm and crystal-clear waters. The stretch of sandy shore is quite petite, with no kiosks or merchants in sight.

Another enchanting beach along the Abraão route, this one accessible via a hiking trail, is the most remote. Located past Praia da Feiticeira, it is an excellent choice for travelers who enjoy thorough exploration of the island. The crystal-clear waters add to its allure.
