Botafogo Bay The sidewalk running along Botafogo Beach in front of the bay of the same name offers one of the loveliest views of the city:with Urca Hill and Sugarloaf right at the entrance to the Guanabara Bay. In the foreground, the boats and sails of the Yacht Club add life and color to the scene. A favorite venue for shows and concerts drawing lively crowds, its facilities include a cycle path and bicycle racks for visitors.
