Neighborhood Description
Zona Oeste
To the west of Rio lie several beautiful, uncrowded beaches, as well as the shopping mall Mecca that is Barra da Tijuca. If you're looking for unspoilt sands and good surf, head for Joatinga, Prainha, Grumari and Recreio - although popular with locals at weekends, the beaches are virtually deserted during the week. © NileGuide
