All the guide books in Rio tell you that it is a crime ridden city and how you have to be careful...but the best piece of advice we found in a pamphlet was how to dress for the beach.
This is as close as I can remember to what it said...
You must go to a swim wear shop and buy yourself a Brazilian style outfit.
Ladies - you need a bikini - a medium size triangle will be sufficient
Men - wide sided speedos (the ones you would never see in Australia)
If you do not dress like this you risk looking like a gringo, or worse still a tourist! (I am not making this up)
Not that we didn't stand out anyway as we were wearing hats...not a clothing item the Brazilians are familiar with!
