Ipanema beach is one of the favorite places for the young carioca. Even if tourists think that Copacabana beach is the main beach for the carioca, it is not. It is in fact Ipanema. It measures 2.6 km long and it extends to Leblon beach, which is some kind of complement. Ipanema inspired the musician Vinícius de Moraes to compose the song Garota de Ipanema, together with Tom Jobim. Surfing skiboard, frescobol, volleyball, soccer, footvolley are among the favorities activities here. Posto Nove is definitely one of the most popular spots on Rio's beach, frequented by celebrities and younger people. Posto Eight is Rio's largest LGBT stronghold on the beach.
