A wooden/stone pier jutting into the lagoon offers foreground leading lines, reflections and framed views of Niterói/Rio across the water. Best at sunrise for soft light and long exposures or at sunset for warm color on the skyline. Easily accessible from Av. da Ciclovia with informal parking nearby; no entry fee. Expect local fishermen and occasional kitesurfers—visit weekdays for fewer people. Watch tides and wind for changing water texture.
