What are the most popular activities for kids after school or on weekends?
Aside from the cinemas and shopping centers, the beach is unquestionably the center of activity in Rio—for all ages. It offers much more than just an opportunity to work on your tan!  Beach soccer, volleyball and foot-volleyball abound, as do surfing, bodysurfing and skim boarding. You're always welcome to both watch and participate. Also popular on the beach is Capoeira, a beautiful Brazilian martial art. The best day of the week to watch this is Sunday, when the beach street is open to pedestrians only.
