It looks a lot like Çanakkale, Turkey

Unfortunately, yet, it is not. No Trojan horses here. Or Turkeys, or Falcons.

Ok, I think this was harder that I initially thought. Here are a couple of hints...it in the Southern Hemisphere and the town shares its name with another more famous beach.

I was thinking Ipanema, but only one of those. Copacabana, Bolivia? (There's another more famous one in Brazil, Mr. Manilow sang about it.)

Si, Copacabana, Bolivia on the shores of scenic Lake Titicaca. The water is a bit colder than that off of the beaches of Rio, and you would be in much less danger of shark attack than off of Port Elizabeth. While it may not be the “hottest spot north of Havana”—that would be the Copa Club in NYC, this quaint town in Bolivia can certainly turn out the pageantry with dancing cholas in bowler hats during the Festival of the Virgin of Candelaria. Not quite Rio during Carnival, but a right good show...

He said Titicaca.... heh heh heh.

Next up, it's not the CBD but a satellite 20 minutes away.

Looks like the Galleria in North Dallas (Texas) heading south on the tollway from Addison towards the LBJ interchange. The flat building is the Westin hotel. I’ve stayed on business many a time in this auto-centric “Edge City.” Great Brazilian Steakhouses only a shuttle bus away! God Bless Texas...

That's where it is, I wanted a better pic when I was there this weekend but settled for StreetView.

I didn't have a TollTag so I usually use the I-635, US 75 and frontage roads as well as Arapaho and Belt Line to get around up in North Dallas/Addison.

As for Brazilian, never had it there, I prefer the Las Colinas trio of Mediterranean places at 114 and Royal.
