São Conrado is a wide sandy beach stretching between Leblon and Barra da Tijuca. It is a very quiet neighborhood with a breathtaking view of Dois Irmãos Mountain and of the magnetic Pedra da Gávea (Gavea Rock). The strong water swells make of São Conrado the perfect beach for surfing the waves. On the beach is also the hand gliding and paragliding company, where you can book your flight over Rio. The beautiful bicycle path running along the beach is lined with kiosks.
