Mureta is a small wall that surrounds the bay in Urca neighborhood. People love to gather there to have a beer after the beach or watch the sunset. This is very traditional in Rio and can get really crowded in the weekends. The coolest spot is in front of the great restaurant Bar Urca (but it's also the most crowded and expensive, of course).

Beaches
This beach is not as crowded as Copacabana/Ipanema and is also beautiful. During the week you might find yourself alone if you go there. Quiet and relaxing spot.

Avoid it during the weekend because it's too crowded but during the week is very quiet and beautiful. It's right in the base of the Sugar Loaf.

Grab a public bike (check how in my tips for travellers category) and ride through the cycleway straight to Leme (less than 10 min ride). Connected to Copacabana but not as crowded.
