Vibe: Quiet cove, monkeys, cable car overhead

A short, sheltered beach in Urca tucked under the Sugarloaf cable car, with the easy Claudio Coutinho trail hugging the rocks into the forest. It is one of the safest, most scenic spots in the city to film handheld; flying over the cable car corridor is off limits, so keep drones grounded here.

Pros
  • +Jungle trail right off the sand
  • +Very safe and calm water
  • +Sugarloaf towering above
Cons
  • No drones near the cable car
  • Small beach, busy on weekends
