What people are saying

Feb 2018

It is about 40 min by car from "Zona Sul" of Rio de Janeiro and looks like you are out of the city. It is a very nice place to surf, standup paddle or just enjoying the nature. If you like, you can go for a long walk along the beach. Don't forget your camera, you are going to want it! After the beach, you can go for a late lunch at Grumari and enjoy the view. It is a "must do" program that "cariocas" love!

“Praia do Pontal”

Dec 2023

Best beach in RJ, clean water. Family atmosphere, without danger of trawlers. Lots of children, well marked by lifeguards!

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews

Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.

When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.

Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
