A Day at
Rasta Beach
"The Sunday move in Rio."
The stretch of Leme right in front of Posto 1. Less thieves than Copa proper. Cheaper drinks. Music in the air. BBE shows up with chairs, a cooler, the team on the sand, so you actually get to swim.
Why It Matters
A Stretch of Sand
Where Rio Actually Hangs
Most tourists go to Copacabana proper. Rasta Beach is the stretch in front of Posto 1 in Leme kiosks with speakers, mostly carioca, drinks half the Copa-strip price.
It’s where the Sundays you remember happen.
The Vibe
Music from the kiosks all afternoon. Reggae, samba, pagode, sometimes funk. Volleyball nets up, frescobol on the sand, footvolley if you know the rules. Calmest energy on the Copa-Leme strip.
The Crew
BBE shows up early. Chairs set up, umbrella in the ground, cooler stocked. Jonas or Zeek on the sand to teach volleyball or soccer if you want a lesson. Someone is always with the stuff so you can swim without watching your phone.
What's Included
Show Up With
Two Pockets and Sunscreen
You don’t think about logistics. Your spot is set up, the cooler is stocked, BBE watches the stuff while you swim.
- ✓Chairs + umbrellaSet up before you arrive. Two beach chairs per person, one umbrella per pair, all in the prime stretch in front of Posto 1.
- ✓Stocked coolerCold water, sodas, beer (for groups that drink), açaí cups, fruit. Whatever you tell us when you book. Cooler refreshed throughout the day.
- ✓BBE staff on the sandSomebody from the team stays with your stuff the entire day. You actually go in the water. You actually walk to the kiosk without looking back.
- ✓Optional volleyball lesson30-60 min with Jonas (former pro volleyball player). Free for groups already booked on Rasta Day. Drop-in for non-clients.
- ✓Optional soccer lesson30-60 min with Ezequiel (former pro footballer since age 16, still connected to the scene). Pure footvolley + ball control basics on the sand.
- ✓Beach food coordinationWe point you to the right walking vendors (biscoito globo, mate, queijo coalho), the wrong ones (no walking-vendor seafood ever), and walk you to the kiosk if you want something cooked.
- ✓Sunset moveAt ~5pm when Leme loses the sun, we either walk you to dinner, drive you back to the hotel for a recharge before nightlife, or extend the kiosk hang. Whatever your group wants.
- +Premium spirits, on requestTequila, whisky, and other specialty liquors not stocked in the standard cooler. Your Concierge can arrange any time, premium adds from $25+ per bottle depending on label.
