What to do in rain or strong wind
In rain, choose a café or restaurant with covered seating in the center and check opening times. Wet trails and rocky walks are not suggested.
Rua das Pedras and Orla Bardot offer a central walk when weather allows: these are outdoor spaces, not covered alternatives during storms.
Manguinhos / Porto da Barra is an option for sunset and dining. Check the forecast and do not assume sand is available for sitting.
