Introduction
Copacabana is Rio de Janeiro's most famous beach, a 4 km crescent bay known for its seaside promenade paved in a black-and-white wave pattern. More than a sunbathing spot, it is a stage for the carioca lifestyle: dawn yoga, football, volleyball and cyclists flow non-stop, and New Year's Eve fireworks draw millions in white to pray. Art-deco buildings and hills behind frame the classic postcard, while coconut water and grilled shrimp from beach stalls define summer.Night runs and beach volleyball keep the sand buzzing from dawn to dark.
