Sunset on the Ipanena Beach, Rio de Janeiro, Brasil

I think that the best place to watch the sunset in Rio de Janeiro is at the beach. Either you stay on the rocks at Aproador Beach or you enjoy the beach of Ipanema as the sun goes down. At this time of the day people are relaxed, the party has started for some, people pack their things after a full day at the beach ready to go home and the locals come after work to do some volleyball or racketball. It's great to just take a walk on the beach, have a swim or simply sit down at one of the posto bars to have something to drink. As you can see the waves can get quite big, so be careful in the water!
