Enjoy...

That face-down, ass-up pic is awesome, and makes me very excited to get to Rio next week. Are any of the other pics of that guy? Is that taken at a sauna? Thanks for the pics, but would also love to hear some stories as well if you have any to share.

Nice.

Are the beach photos related to the nudes? Or are those just random people.

One of the guys from the beach I met in the sauna and then saw again on the beach....I ended up enjoying him at the sauna....

Another guy I met on the beach and we hooked up at my hotel....no charge

Thanks for the photos, makes me miss being in Rio. Who is the Brazilian guy in the second pic? He is hott! Did you meet him at the beach or at the sauna. Which saunas have you been to so far..

I'm curious. You clearly took your phone or a camera to the beach. I have seen many people warn aggressively about taking NOTHING to the beach. How did you keep your phone safe? Did you get in the water? If so, where did you leave it? Maybe you had a friend with you or something?

Badboy81, This is funny. My friends sent me some of the exact same pictures last year. I think he downloaded them from the internet too.

Im a 6ft tall black American...I tend not to have ANY problems in Rio...I went to the beach solo a few times and I had a friend with me once during my last trip

I did get into the water...

I left it with my other belongings....within eyesight

Hey Kevin....great try...

I took all of the pics I posted from my first trip in 2016..They are still in my cell...

If he posted similar pics, I can understand that....pics from Rio do start to look alike...

It is OK to carry a larger camera to the beach to take pics?

Hoping to use a telephoto lens to have better quality pics.

What would be the best time & day to visit the beach in Rio de Janero?

IMHO, taking a camera to the beach is like taking a steak to hungry wolves!!  There are roving gangs of 12 -14 yr. olds(14 and under can't be charged with crimes in Brazil)  So they will do snatch and grab and dash between all the chairs and umbrellas and people and you are hot of a camera/phone. 

  My advice which I follow, is take $25.-$50R($8. - 15.US) or so and that's it  You can rent a umbrella, chair, suntan lotion, drinks and food at the beach and there is nothing for anyone to steal!

25 to 50 Reais is not nearly enough money.

After being in the hospital once more for my heart before New Year's Eve, I was finally feeling well enough to take the sun for more than an hour.

I was at the beach on Sunday with a friend. One bottle of water, one juice, one agua de coco, two chairs and an umbrella cost 47 Reais.

They do offer a special. If you eat and drink 40 Reais worth, you get the sun umbrella and two chairs gratis.

I brought my own suntan lotion, No food consumed. I was always go to Barraca de Miriam #53.  They have wifi, so bring your cell. I've always felt very safe and protected by the team that works at this barraca.

And they accept debit and credit cards.

Sorry to read that you've been unwell, ihpguy. Whereabouts on the beach is "Barraca de Miriam #53"? (I looked on Google Maps but could not find it)

It looks to be just east of Farme de Amoedo, opposite 216 Vieira Souto.

Welcome back Ihpguy, missed you.

Barraca Miriam, the only place I go (after your recommend. several years ago). Pricing is fair and consistent, the most professional spot on the beach.

I do not suggest taking a camera to the beach....that would definitely get you into trouble...

The art of using a cell phone is people do not know you are taking pics...

As far as best time and day...it depends on when you are in Rio...I was there for New Years so every day was packed and the weather happened to be great...

Thank you... Badboy81

Very good suggestion...I need to practice taking pics on cellphone without people knowing

How about going to some of the big Tourist sights such as Christ the Redeemer & Sugar Loaf Mountain?

Would that be the same situation? Or can I al least bring a cheap point & shoot camera?
