  3. Azeda Beach
    30m · Admission ticket not included
    If you choose the optional cruise, enjoy the Buzios coastline from a different perspective and on a different way. Azeda Beach is among the most sought after by tourists. The beach is small, charming and with calm and colorful sea. It is next to Azedinha. They are divided only by a strip of stone, and in Azedinha there is no construction to hide the look of the forest.

    Each stop lasts around 30 minutes, and you can go to the beach instead of staying inside the schooner.
  4. Praia Joao Fernandes
    30m · Admission ticket not included
    Surrounded by lodges, hotels and luxury condominiums, the beach has perfect calm waters for kayaking, as well as snorkeling beaches. It is no accident that it is an obligatory stop for the schooner trips.

    The beach is a favorite of foreign tourists, who find good infrastructure of bars and restaurants serving snacks and dishes based on lobsters and shrimps. The kiosks stand on a plateau, but they often spread tables and chairs in the sand.

    If you prefer to get away from the usual buzz of noise, walk to the right corner, a little quieter.
  5. Praia da Tartaruga
    30m · Admission ticket not included
    The beach has calm waters, and generally the warmest of the region, since it does not receive the cold currents of Antarctica. Take the opportunity to swim and snorkel in the shores at the far right.

    Along the extensive strip of sand, kiosks for all tastes spread tables, chairs and sun loungers.
  6. Orla Bardot Boardwalk
    Pass by
    The Bardot shore is always colored by the fishing boats. A walk along the boardwalk, dotted with wooden decks, benches and gardens, features the bronze sculptures of famous visitors such as French actress Brigitte Bardot and former President Juscelino Kubitschek.
