Facts about Ipanema Beach:
Ipanema is a neighborhood located on the southern region of the city of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, between Leblon and Arpoador.

It is famously known for its elegance and social qualities. Two mountains called the “Dois Irmaos” (Two Brothers) rise at the western end of the beach. The beach is divided into segments by marks known as “postos” (lifeguard towers). Beers are sold everywhere on the beach along with the traditional cachaca. There are always circles of people playing football, volleyball, and footvolley, a combination sport of volleyball and football originated in Brazil.

In the winter the surf can reach 10–15 feet. The water quality varies with days of light-blue water to a more murky green after heavy rains. Constant swells keep the water clean. The often treacherous beach break regularly forms barrels.

One interesting thing about Ipanema’s beach is that there is an area called “the gay beach,” situated near Rua Farme de Amoedo; which is well-known for being a gay-friendly area, with the rainbow flag floating in the air.

Just west of this colorful section and towards Leblon is another popular stretch of sand known as Posto Nove (aptly named after the 9th lifeguard tower) where young and often beautiful carioca men and women hipsters congregate.

The Travel Channel listed Ipanema Beach as the sexiest beach in the world.
