Swimming beach popular with photographers for its dramatic sunset views & landscape.

😠 We got robbed twice in one day near this post, first time only the wallet, second time the entire rucksack with everything in it! Phone, glassless, even my sandals were gone! We met people in the police station, where we went twice, who had their bag taken too in exact same area, with their passport...

Part of the "Walk Rio" project which has created an amazing bike lane and pedestrian walkway all along the beach which also conne...

👍👍 We could say that Icaraí is without its best maintenance condition, but this is a political problem and can be solved, and what really matters is that Icaraí is one of the best located beaches in Guanabara and Niterói Bay, with a privileged view , commerce, services and a first class people.

👍👍 Lindíssima praia que faz par com a Praia de Eva em Niterói.

😐 Vista espetacular, mas local muito mal aproveitado! Por altíssima proximidade ao Forte de São Domingos do Gragoatá, a segurança é garantida e este seria um excelente local para visitantes passarem bons momentos com vistas da Baía de Guanabara, não fosse a péssima condição do local, sem iluminação e...
