Praia do Botafogo
Praia do Botafogo Review
Though it's very much a strand, Praia do Botafogo doesn't attract swimmers and sunbathers. Considered to be the most polluted beach, the water is really only suitable for mooring your boat. But don't let that stop you from taking a jog along the sidewalk if you're staying nearby. Early risers will see a stunning sunrise from this shore.
- Address: Praça Praia Nova to Praça Marinha do Brasil, Praia de Botafogo, Botafogo, Rio de Janeiro, 22250-040
