For those wanting to escape the South Zone chaos, the Reserva is a wild, extensive, and sparsely populated beach between Barra and Recreio. It’s within the Marapendi Environmental Reserve, featuring soft white sand and restinga vegetation. The clean but chilly and strong waters attract surfers and families alike. Alongside Prainha, it's one of the few to receive the Blue Flag, an international eco-certification.
