A walkway around the base of Pedra do Leme where fishermen cast lines and locals stroll at the end of Copacabana beach, with the whole curve of the bay behind them. Most visitors stop at the sand and never walk round the rock.

Good to know
- Look for the statue of writer Clarice Lispector at the start and get an açaí (Time Out).
- The area is a protected heritage zone around the Forte Duque de Caxias; a 2025 graffiti on the wall was removed for that reason (Veja Rio).
- Combine it with the eco-trail up to the Leme fort above (Time Out).
