Joatinga beach is a secluded beach only reached by a short walk down a trail from the parking area above. It's quiet and practically deserted on weekdays. You will need a car to get to this beach, as the windy road through the exclusive neighborhood is not serviced by buses. Renting a car is your best bet, as it would be difficult to call a taxi to come back here.

This is a great place to surf, watch the surfers, or swim in the surf. The water is pretty rough, so most swimmers don't go in above waist deep. There are no lifeguards, food, or restroom facilities here.
