The beach is split into two distinct areas: a designated naturist section and a non-nudist area located at the far left entrance.
It is situated within the Grumari Environmental Protection Area, which restricts new commercial development to preserve the local ecosystem.
The beach is regulated by the ANA, which maintains the site's infrastructure and ensures compliance with the naturist code of conduct.
The name 'Abricó' refers to a type of fruit tree once common in the region.
Praia do Abricó is the only officially recognized naturist beach in the city of Rio de Janeiro. Located within the protected Grumari Environmental Protection Area, it maintains a secluded status due to its distance from the city's primary urban centers. The beach is managed in partnership with the ANA (Associação Naturista de Abricó), which enforces the naturist charter. The coastline features a mix of rock formations and fine sand, backed by Atlantic Forest vegetation. It is officially affiliated with the Brazilian Naturism Federation.
