Ipanema

Approximately 700–900 metres away. Combine the beach with neighborhood life: sunset walks, cafés, restaurants and shopping.

Praia Vermelha

Smaller and scenic, Praia Vermelha is in Urca at the foot of Sugarloaf Mountain. Unlike Copacabana, Arpoador and Ipanema, it is not part of the same walk from Copa Atelier: reach it by taxi or ride-hailing app. Views over the bay and Sugarloaf give it a different character from the large ocean beaches of the South Zone.

Copacabana for everyday convenience, Arpoador for sunset, Ipanema for beach and neighborhood life, Praia Vermelha for a smaller scenic setting. Before entering the water, check local conditions and follow lifeguard guidance.
