Leme Beach in Rio

Olá! Beautiful day and perfect for a refreshing dive in Leme Beach in Rio, right? Next to Copacabana, you’ll find this smaller yet comfortable upper-middle-class neighborhood.

Leme

Leme was named after a Brazilian pioneer and because its rock formations resemble the rudder of a ship. It wasn’t until late XIX century that people started living there and made it the popular neighborhood it is today.

Leme Beach in Rio

Leme’s beach is amazing, connecting to Copacabana and Ipanema, it’s their smaller and calmer sister, being a great call if you’re avoiding big crowds. It’s beautiful and houses the Duque de Caxias fort, that we visit on our RioLIVE!, right on top of it’s rock formations.

A cozy place, Leme is preferred by Cariocas for not having too many people around, so you pretty much have a whole beach to yourself!
