Ponta Negra - Maricá - RJ
Edit SpotAbout
I think this is a great spot, it is not the best, but it is fun, specially if you are a beginner.. the coolest thing is that you are close to many other beaches that you can find yourself same pretty good waves (Pipa, Artistas, Tabatinga)
Atmosphere:
Girls, bars, party, all kinds of fun.. sometimes the beach is flat, but you can play some soccer with the natives who are extremely friendly...
Additional Info:
This is a pretty fun spot, if you get to meet the locals, ask them to take you to the secret spots behind the dunes, there are some break-points back there and some cool reefs...
