Discover the Serenity of Praia da Joatinga

Getting There

• Car

  From Serra do Mar, head towards the city of Rio de Janeiro. Take the BR-101 highway, following the signs towards Rio de Janeiro. Once you enter the city, follow Avenida das Américas until you reach the intersection with Rua Joá. Turn right onto Rua Joá, which leads you directly towards Praia da Joatinga. There is limited parking available near the beach, so be prepared to find a spot a bit further away and walk the remaining distance.

• Public Transportation (Bus)

  First, make your way to a nearby bus terminal or a major bus stop in Serra do Mar. Look for buses heading towards Rio de Janeiro, specifically those that stop at the Barra da Tijuca area. Get off at the terminal near Avenida das Américas. From there, transfer to a local bus that goes to Joá. The bus number might vary, so check local listings or ask for assistance at the terminal. Once you reach the Joá area, follow Rua Joá to reach Praia da Joatinga. Note that bus fares typically range from R$3 to R$6.

• Taxi or Ride-Sharing

  If you prefer a more direct and comfortable option, consider taking a taxi or using a ride-sharing app like Uber. Simply input 'Praia da Joatinga, Joá, Rio de Janeiro' as your destination. The driver will take you directly to the beach. Keep in mind that this option may be more expensive, typically costing between R$30 to R$70 depending on your starting location in Serra do Mar and traffic conditions.
