Rocket and Angélica are in love and have a great time on the beach. But that’s only one side of the story…
The beach is located in an environmentally protected area. It can be reached via the road to Guaratiba. One of the most paradisiacal beaches, Grumari is an environmentally protected area, surrounded by a rocky, wild coastline with beautiful flora and fauna which make up the characteristic ecosystem of the Atlantic Forest. Approximately 2.5 kms long, it is located about 20kms from downtown Barra. Buses are forbidden and the number of vehicles is limited. Grumari is not a residential area
