Distances are in a straight line from the middle of Rio de Janeiro, to spots that land joins: none across a bay or on another island. A drive marked "about" is our estimate: the straight line times 1.8 minutes a km, measured on the drives we have routed (half of those come within 21% of the routed time).

Further out

These spots are more than 20 km from Rio de Janeiro. It is the nearest town with beds, so they stay here.

Wave height in feet, the wave energy in kJ under it.GoodUnder each day, the wind in knots: the arrow points where it blows to.
