The season most awaited by cariocas and tourists visiting Rio is coming: the SUMMER! With sunny days, full beaches and that unique climate that only our city knows how to offer, also begins the phase of greatest movement on the edge.

The station most awaited by the cariocas and tourists visiting Rio is coming: the SUMMER I'm sorry. With sunny days, full beaches and that unique climate that only our city knows how to offer, also begins the phase of greatest movement on the edge.

And for everyone to enjoy it in the best way, Operation Summer, integrated City Hall and Secretariat of Public Order (SEOP), which reinforces the planning and care of the beaches during the high season.

The goal is simple: to keep Rio safe and organized, the way that cariocas and visitors love.

Safer and quieter edge

Among the main guidelines of Operation Summer is the ban on the use of glass bottles in the sand. Besides being dangerous, glass can cause accidents and hurt anyone who's enjoying the day. The recommendation is to opt for plastic cups or aluminum cans, which are safer and recyclable. And of course: Always collect your own trash.

Another important point is the organization of walking trade. Cars standing in the sand cannot, hinder circulation, impair the look and often make even the sea bath difficult. Charge and discharge is allowed, but only at the right time. Then every piece of equipment goes back to its place.

Walk to enjoy, not to accelerate

The boardwalk is one of the city's great postcards and must remain accessible. So, scooters and mopeds cannot move or park in the lane for pedestrians. The idea is to ensure a more peaceful, safe ride with space for everyone.

Authorised outpatients and organized services

Corn, Globe cookie and ice cream matte are part of Rio's affective identity, and are still guaranteed! But you can only act on the edge who has the authority of the City Hall. Thus, care is safer, organized and without abuse.

It is also forbidden to “camp” in sand or store goods in plants. Keeping the public space clean and well maintained is essential for the beaches to remain always beautiful.

Quality care and no abusive practices

City Hall reinforces the fight against insistent, abusive or misleading approaches. The objective is to value the good service, the one with respect, kindness and the traditional good carioca humor.

Another point of attention is the fences that sometimes block the passage in the sand. They're not allowed. The beach is everyone's: free, democratic and full of life.

Sound of the sea is the official trail

To preserve the environment and ensure comfort to all, the use of sound boxes, musical instruments or improvised shows In the sand. The sound of the beach is that of the waves, the wind and the joy of the bathers. Anyone who wants to enjoy events can enjoy the plans authorized and organized by the City Hall.

Sports released, but with order

Rio is passionate about sport, and the beach is a real open field. Futevolleyball, volleyball and football are free. But the Schools and organised activities They need municipal clearance to function. So fun happens with structure, security and responsibility.

With these measures, Operation Summer reinforces the commitment to keep Rio even more beautiful, welcoming and prepared to welcome all who arrive to enjoy the season.
