Copacabana is a beach located in front of the Morro do Xerê, named and inspired by the famous Copacabana Beach, which is especially recognizable for its crescent-shaped beach.
Initially, only the Copacabana Ocean was the planned project made by Forever and Richarlyson, starting on May 13, 2023 and opening on May 24, 2023. But later, as plans for the Elections, the place began to be expanded and built as a public place, being now a brazilian district, similar to the real ones from Rio de Janeiro.
Description[]
Just like the Favela, building Copacabana was an idea of Forever, who is carioca[note 1], getting a lot of inspiration from his living experience in Rio de Janeiro.
Forever wanted to build the beach as a surprise for when the French Members arrived on the island, but it was unfortunately not completed in time for the event, being inaugurated on Day 64, with the French arriving 8 days earlier on Day 56.
The Ocean Inauguration[]

Forever gathered everyone on the recently flattened desert, where he built a glass platform above to give a speech before going down with Richarlyson and breaking the border blocks, flooding the desert with water.
The whole event was recorded from above by one of the server admins. After the area filled with water everyone took a boat tour around the newly created ocean.
The Square[]
The public square is the first place to be accessed after arriving at the Bus Stop and crossing the lake ahead. It aims to generate encounters between members of the island and keep Favela and Copacabana a more active place. The Waystone is located at the fountain in the center of the Square, and has several trees around it, such as Avocado, so that people can make Avocado Toast, the food most used by the members.
Copacabana Beach[]
Copacabana beach was the first thing planned for the place, being the most famous place in the real Copacabana. The beach has a half-moon shape with plenty of umbrellas and chairs to sit on. It is next to the last street, with a large sidewalk with a wave in the center and some coconut trees on the sand.
StarBobby[]
StarBobby is a coffee shop made by Cellbit and Richarlyson. The name of the coffee shop was made in honor of Bobby after he passed away some time ago. The first StarBobby Cafeteria was made in Copacabana, and the logo was made by Richarlyson himself, with him and Bobby in front of a star holding coffee and chocolate milk.
Inside the Cafeteria there is the counter to serve the customers, the door that leads to the storage and coffee plantations, and an Ice Cream Freezer. Next to the Cafeteria, there are tables outside for customers to have coffee and be served as well, with stairs to leave/enter and a bicycle rack next to it.
Tallulah's Music Store[]
Tallulah's Music Store was a store created by Forever after he started creating some apartment buildings in the front of the Copacabana Beach and the houses of the Favela. This building contained a service area and an elevator that lead to the second floor. On the second floor, there was a karaoke area where players go to sing together. There was also a rooftop with several chairs and tables and a view of the beach. Just like StarBobby, the logo was a creation of Richarlyson.
Egg Van[]
"Carro dos Ovos" (Egg car/van) is a typical shop on wheels from Brazil. It is common to see on the streets of Brazil people selling eggs in a car that announces prices for all neighborhoods with a loud speaker. It is a feature of Latin culture that is little known. Pac and Mike decided to honor this on the server for the arrival of the new islanders.
Copacabana Palace[]
This was a building being created by Forever. It's inspired in the Belmond Copacabana Palace, a historic hotel located in front of Copacabana Beach in the city of Rio de Janeiro, with almost a century of existence, being one of the most important hotels in the world.
The Cinema[]
After being sponsored by Prime Video, Pac, Mike, Forever and Felps decided to start building a cinema to watch the first season of the series "The Wheel of Time". The cinema has a big logo in front of it, and it was also built to welcome the new inhabitants of Quesadilla Island on 28th of August, 2023.
