History

Beach Apricot

Locals used the beach for naturism since the 1940s. In the 1950s, Luz del Fuego and his group visited Abricó beach.

Avenida Estado da Guanabara opened in 1972, which facilitated further access to this beach. In 1992 the then Municipal Secretary of Environment Alfredo Sirkis, Green Party (RJ). suggested to the mayor Cesar Maia he should approve a bill authorizing the practice of naturism there. The law passed in 1994. A lawsuit failed to stop the practice.
