READERS CHOICE
BECAUSE YOU'RE THE EXPERTS

"When I fly back to my hometown of Rio de Janeiro, I always pay a visit to JOATINGA BEACH. It's not as famous as Copacabana or Ipanema, but it's a wonderful place. It's just 20 minutes from the city, a secluded white sand beach surrounded by dramatic cliffs. The water is warm and clear. You're close to the city, but you feel as if you're off in paradise.
