Surf Inn Rio

Overview

Experience the legendary surf scene of Rio de Janeiro at Surf Inn, located on the famous Macumba Beach in Recreio dos Bandeirantes. This vibrant surf hostel sits at one of the world's best longboarding spots, where the Atlantic Forest meets the sea and the Brazilian surf culture comes alive. Run by passionate local surfers, Surf Inn connects travelers and locals through a free-spirited lifestyle centered around surfing, yoga, and authentic Carioca culture.

Accommodation

Choose from a variety of accommodation options to match your travel style - from mixed and female-only dorms to private rooms for couples and groups. The beachfront location puts you just steps from the surf, while nearby restaurants, bars, and markets provide everything you need within a five-minute walk. Unwind after sessions with access to four nearby hiking trails, or explore the neighborhood's vibrant nightlife with bars and pubs on the same block.

Surf

Macumba Beach offers consistent waves year-round, with the best conditions from May to September when south swells deliver 3-10 foot waves. The shifty sand-bottom break caters to all levels - beginners head to the mellow left corner while experienced surfers chase faster, hollower waves on the right. With over five surf spots within reach, professional video analysis coaching, and multilingual instructors speaking English, Spanish, and French, Surf Inn provides the complete Rio surf experience.
