User reviews
"If you happen to visit Búzios, this beach is definitely worth checking out. It stretches out for quite a distance and has a refreshing breeze, along with soft, warm sand that feels delightful under your feet. While there is a beachside establishment that can be a bit pricey, purchasing a few beers will grant you access to the comfortable beach chairs and umbrellas."
Dr. Zara
"If you're planning a trip to Buzios, I highly recommend staying at this beach, especially if you choose to rent a house like we did. The waves can be a bit challenging for young children, but they offer some of the most impressive surfing and boogie boarding opportunities I've ever witnessed in the Atlantic Ocean. The beach itself is quite spacious and not excessively crowde..."
