The beach at Ipanema became known internationally with the popularity of the bossa nova song, "The Girl from Ipanema" ("Garota de Ipanema"), written by Antônio Carlos Jobim and Vinícius de Moraes.
Etymology
The name Ipanema originally referred to a river in São Paulo. Its etymology derives from the Tupi language words ipá (pond) and nem-a (stinking). Possible translations for its original meaning are "worthless water," "stinking lake," "turbid water," or "water worthless for human consumption." The historian Teodoro Sampaio translated Ipanema as "bad water."
The neighborhood in Rio de Janeiro was named after José Antonio Moreira Filho, the Baron of Ipanema, who created the first urban settlement in the region in 1883.
The border area between Copacabana and Ipanema is known locally as "Copanema."
History
Today, Ipanema consists primarily of land that once belonged to José Antonio Moreira Filho, Baron of Ipanema. The name "Ipanema" did not originally refer to the beach but to the baron's homeland, São Paulo.
Character

Ipanema is adjacent to Copacabana and Leblon beaches but distinct from its neighbors. It is relatively easy to navigate because the streets are aligned in a grid. Ipanema's beach culture includes surfers and sunbathers who gather daily at the beach. Every Sunday, the roadway closest to the beach is closed to motor vehicles, allowing residents and tourists to ride bikes, roller skate, skateboard, and walk along the ocean. Ipanema is one of Rio's most expensive districts; private investment has led to building world-class restaurants, shops, and cafés.
Ipanema has played a cultural role in Rio de Janeiro since the city's beginning, with its universities, art galleries, and theatres. It holds a street parade, the Banda de Ipanema, during Carnival festivities separate from Rio de Janeiro, attracting up to 50,000 people to the streets of Ipanema.

The beach at Ipanema is known for its elegant development and social life. Two mountains called the Dois Irmãos (Two Brothers) rise at the beach's western end, divided into segments delineated by postos or lifeguard towers. Beer and traditional cachaça are sold everywhere. There are always circles of people playing football, volleyball, and footvolley, a locally invented sport that combines volleyball and football.
In the winter, the surf can reach three meters (nine feet). The water quality varies from clear, light-blue water to murky green after heavy rains. Constant swells help keep the water clean, and the often treacherous beach break regularly forms surfable barrels. Just west of this colorful section, towards Leblon, Rio de Janeiro, is another famous stretch of sand known as Posto 10, referring to the #10 lifeguard station.
The beach is one of many areas that suffer from the city's poor waste treatment. In its waters, "fecal coliform bacteria sometimes spike at 16 times the Brazilian government's 'satisfactory' level." Large amounts of pollutants are still dumped into the sea through the nearby marine outfall pipe, a matter of increasing concern to ecologists.
In the summer, beachgoers often applaud the sunset. In 2008, the Travel Channel listed Ipanema Beach as the sexiest beach in the world.

Posto 9 is the section of the beach around the #9 lifeguard station, across from Joana Angelica Street. Its notoriety began around 1979 when Fernando Gabeira, later a federal deputy for the State of Rio de Janeiro, returned from political exile in France and was photographed there in a thong. He had been a member of the leftist urban guerilla group MR8, which kidnapped the American ambassador, Charles Burke Elbrick, in 1969 and demanded the release of fifteen political prisoners in exchange for his life.
Gabeira became a political celebrity by publishing a memoir about his experiences as a guerilla and his years in exile. In 1979, he was photographed wearing a skimpy purple swimsuit at Ipanema. He gave an interview with a gay and lesbian newspaper, inciting rumors that he was gay, which he neither confirmed nor denied. His going to the beach at Posto 9 made it famous throughout the country.
Posto 9 inherited its status as a gathering spot for counter-cultural types from the area near Farme de Amoedo Street, next to the dunes called Dunas do Barato and a pier that was demolished in the 1970s. It has a long history of public cannabis smoking (illegal in Brazil), police raids, and gatherings of left-wing intellectuals. It is still popular with students, artists, actors, and liberal-minded people.
