About

São Conrado Beach is nestled between the Pedra da Gávea mountain and the Atlantic Ocean. It's particularly famous as a landing point for hang gliders and paragliders taking off from Pedra Bonita. While not as crowded as Copacabana or Ipanema, it offers a beautiful setting and a unique spectacle of colorful gliders descending onto the sand.
