Itacoatiara - Niterói, Brazil Itacoatiara features a powerful beach break with fast and hollow waves, ideal for experienced surfers. The wave breaks both right and left over a sandy bottom, making it the most formidable surf spot in Rio de Janeiro State. Access involves a long walk (over 30 minutes) to reach the prime surf areas, which can be crowded on weekends. Located near Niterói, surfers can reach Itacoatiara via the Niteroi bridge. The beach is known for its vibrant atmosphere, especially when the swell is good. While the main surf areas are challenging, beginners may want to explore nearby beaches like Piratininga and Camboinhas for more manageable conditions. Be cautious of localism and always check the wave conditions before paddling out, as the intensity can vary significantly. The beach has three defined spots: Costão (left), Pampo (right), and a central area often dominated by bodyboarders.
