What makes Barraca da Miriam 53 stand out

Barraca da Miriam is one of the well-known beach stalls on the Farme section, where Rio’s queer crowd meets during the day. Guests praise the service and attentiveness. In 2026 a fee for using the toilet was criticised.

A good fit if you …

  • are planning a beach day at Ipanema’s gay beach
  • want a sunbed and drinks without any effort

Not ideal if you …

  • are looking for a quiet, empty beach
