Nova Iguaçu is the third most populous suburb with 800 000 inhabitants. Duque de Caxias comes second with 870 000 and Sao Gonçalo is the most populous with slightly more than 1 000 000 people. Also, which beach is the most famous can be disputed because Copacabana is the most iconic nationally.

I fixed the mistake with Nova Iguaçú. About Copacabana, even in Rio it's regarded as the most famous/iconic beach, though maybe to a lesser extent.
