The world’s most famous beach: Copacabana

#beachcheck #100waysoftravel Copacabana is without a doubt the most famous beach in the world. The boulevard was designed by Brazilian architect Roberto Burle Marx, Fred and Ginger danced in the Copacabana Palace Hotel, and celebrities such as Marlene Dietrich and Lady Diana have stayed here. This moon-shaped stretch of sand unrolls over four kilometres, welcoming swimmers, joggers and beach volleyball enthusiasts. The gentle waves of the Atlantic cradle this legendary beach, while the horizon reveals majestic mountain silhouettes. The famous wavy cobblestones of the boulevard lining the beach add a touch of elegance to this timeless icon. The beach is famed for its New Year's Eve celebrations, drawing millions for the fireworks display. Along the beach, there are numerous kiosks serving local snacks and drinks, making it a perfect spot to immerse oneself in the local beach culture. The historic Copacabana Palace Hotel, facing the beach, adds to the grandeur of the area.
