Praia da Ponta Negra is a popular urban beach located on the banks of the Rio Negro in the western part of Manaus. This artificial beach was created in the early 2000s by importing sand and shaping it to look natural. The beach features playgrounds for children, cycling paths, sand volleyball courts, and a large amphitheater for live performances. The surrounding area is filled with restaurants and bars, making it a perfect spot for enjoying beautiful Amazonian evenings while watching the sunset over the river.
