Ipanema Ipanema beach
Ipanema is a neighborhood located on the southern region of the city of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, between Leblon and Arpoador. The beach at Ipanema became widely known by the song "The Girl from Ipanema" ("Garota de Ipanema"), written by Antonio Carlos Jobim and Vinícius de Moraes.
It is famously known for its elegance and social qualities. Two mountains called the "Dois Irmãos" (Two Brothers) rise at the western end of the beach. The beach is divided into segments by marks known as "postos" (lifeguard towers). Beer is sold everywhere on the beach along with the traditional cachaça. There are always circles of people playing football, volleyball, and footvolley, a combination sport of volleyball and football originated in Brazil.
In the winter the surf can reach 9 feet. The water quality varies with days of light-blue water to a more murky green after heavy rains. Constant swells keep the water clean. The often treacherous beach break regularly forms barrels.
One interesting thing about Ipanema's beach is that there is an area called "the gay beach," situated near Rua Farme de Amoedo; which is well-known for being a gay-friendly area, with the rainbow flag flying in the air.
Just west of this colorful section and towards Leblon is another popular stretch of sand known as Posto Nove (aptly named after the 9th lifeguard tower) where young and often beautiful carioca men and women hipsters congregate.
The Travel Channel listed Ipanema Beach as the sexiest beach in the world.

Ipanema é um bairro da cidade brasileira do Rio de Janeiro, fundado, em 1894, por José Antônio Moreira, conde de Ipanema. Um dos bairros mais nobres da cidade, localiza-se na zona sul da cidade e possui um belo litoral. Faz divisa com os bairros de Copacabana, Leblon e Lagoa.
O nome Ipanema significa "água ruim, rio sem peixes" em tupi-guarani.
* A Rua 20 foi a primeira rua do bairro, atualmente chamada Visconde de Pirajá.
O desenvolvimento da Zona Sul foi forçado pela chegada da corte portuguesa no século XIX, quando a população da cidade (capital na ocasião) passou de sessenta mil para quinhentos mil habitantes. A corte preferiu seguir rumo norte, em direção à Floresta da Tijuca, enquanto o corpo diplomático e os ingleses preferiram a Zona Sul, onde só havia vilas de pescadores.
