Praia da Ferradura – A “Horseshoe bay” with crystal clear and calm waters all the time. The left corner has several bars that serve delicious seafood appetizers. There are several mansions along the beach overlooking the ocean.

Praia de João Fernandinho – The water is crystal clear, and has an amazing bluish green colour.  The rocky shores on the right side are good for snorkelling and scuba diving. Seagulls and White-Bellied Boobies are frequently spotted.
 

João Fernandes

Brava

Tartaruga

Praia de João Fernandes - One of the most sought after beaches in Búzios. There are great kiosks along the beach, and the waters are always calm, filled with passing schooners.

Praia Brava - Located in one of the most preserved sites in Búzios. This beautiful and preserved beach is formed by an open bay facing the ocean, with blue-green water, mountains and pinkish colored sand. It is very sought by surfers and is also great to relax and enjoy nature. The right corner has a path that leads to the Olho de Boi beach, which is a nudist area.

Praia da Tartaruga – “Turtle” beach has calm waters, which generally are the warmest in the region. (It doesn’t receive the cold currents from Antarctica.) There are several kiosks and the rocky shores are good for scuba diving and snorkelling.
 

Geribá

Ferradurinha

Canto

Praia de Geribá - Geribá is the place for beautiful sun-tanned people who hang out in front of the Fishbone Café. This is where you you’ll catch the buzz on parties that will happen later in town. There are waves along most of the beach, making it great for surfing.

Ferradurinha - Surrounded by beautiful mountains, the beach is in a beautiful bay with calm waters and fine white sand. Access to the beach is by a path that starts at the left corner of Geribá Beach.

Praia do Canto – There are many houses and mansions throughout the whole beach. The water is usually warm and the wind frequently blows in from the east.
 

Armação

Ossos

Foca

Praia da Armação - The beach that runs along “Rua das Pedras” street and the Bardot Boardwalk. Excellent for taking pictures and enjoying a nice walk. Sights not to be missed are the bronze statues of Bridget Bardot, and of the 3 fishermen.

Praia dos Ossos - As local stories say, this beach received its name due to whale bones found in the sand. With a tree lined shore and full of fishing boats, it looks like a postcard.

Praia da Foca - Narrow and surrounded by rocks with little sand. It’s near Lagoinha and Forno Beach, but access isn’t very easy. The reward, though, is almost total privacy.
 

Forno

Olho de Boi

Map

Praia do Forno – Located in a small bay with reddish sand and very clear water. Some of the sports options that stand out are fishing and diving off the rocky coasts.

Praia Olho de Boi - Access is not easy for the less sport-inclined. To get there, you’ll have to hike up and down a hill from Brava Beach. The view is of total wilderness. If you like naturalism, this beach is your ideal spot as it is a nudist area.
