Vintage Photos Capture Daily Life at the Rio Beaches From the Late 1970s

The beaches of Brazil must be counted as among the best in the world. Canada-based photographer Blake W. Smith strolled along Ipanema, Leblon, Copacabana and others in Rio with his trusty Nikon in hand photographing the beach scenes in 1978. Lots of interesting activity on Rio’s superb beaches.
