Beach foods to eat in Brazil

What to drink on the beach

Mate or lemonade
You may want to try a very delicious iced tea called mate (Brazilian iced tea) or the lemonade that they sell in the drums

Savor Brazilian iced tea and lemonade from a roaming vendor with dual drums!

You’ll see a guy walking around with two drums, one drum on each side, one filled with lemonade and the other one with mate, which is Brazilian iced tea.

What to eat on the beach in Rio

It’s definitely not a place for you to go to eat or even to bring food. Picnics are a no-no, and the street vendors sell just a few things:

Biscoito Globo (too airy and tasteless for most foreigners, although Brazilians love it)

Popsicles (yes, always…and safe)

Corn beach foods (weird to eat at a beach, and the corn isn’t sweet… it is green corn)

Acai (yes, excellent for the beach)

Esfiha (always great!)

And basically, that’s it.

Oh, and cheese.

Beachside grilled cheese is a unique cheesy treat!

You can get cheese grilled for you on the beach.

Grilled cheese Beach Foods, which is a very funny thing because they walk around with a portable oven in which they take the grilled cheese, the halloumi cheese, on a stick, and grill it for you before serving.
