Meditation and yoga are great, but sometimes you just need that little extra ‘oomph’! Beach sports in Rio will get your blood pumping in no time! To say that Brazilians like a bit of sport would be a massive understatement. Beach sports here go beyond a bit of a kickabout in the sand, and surfing, kiting and body-boarding are just a few. When you've had enough of water, swim to the shore and play some beach football, or perhaps join a volleyball team.
