Itacoatiara is the best beach of Niterói and also is a surfer's paradise: lush vegetation, bluish waters and endemic species. Take a look at this photo below. Here is located the Serra da Tiririca State Park, wich extends by Niterói and Maricá. Charles Darwin visited some places of this Park in 1832.
