Praia do Meio is a beach located in the Barra de Guaratiba area of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. It is part of a circuit of wild beaches within Pedra Branca State Park. Access to the beach for paddlers is primarily via hiking trails, as it is a remote, wild beach. The trail to reach it is considered of medium difficulty, with some ups and downs, and begins from Guaratiba beach. The hike from a trail fork to Praia do Meio takes approximately 45 minutes on foot, which means paddlers must carry their equipment a significant distance over uneven terrain to reach the launch point. There are no formal parking lots, boat ramps, or other launch facilities directly at the beach. The beach itself is spacious and beautiful, facing the Marambaia sandbank. The area is noted for its natural, quiet, and family-friendly atmosphere. From this beach, paddlers have access to other nearby coastal destinations via the water, including Praia do Perigoso. The sea conditions are not described in detail, but the beach's exposed oceanfront location suggests paddlers should be prepared for typical coastal wind and wave patterns. There are no specific details provided regarding water temperature patterns, water quality, seasonal paddling recommendations, or formal regulations specific to paddling at this location.
