Orla Bardot

A seaside promenade running along the bay, named after the French film star Brigitte Bardot, whose visit in 1964 made Búzios an overnight sensation. A bronze statue of her seated on a suitcase is a popular photo spot.

In 1964, French film star Brigitte Bardot came to Búzios on holiday, and the fishing village quickly became an international resort. The seafront promenade named after her runs from the eastern end of Rua das Pedras along Armação Bay to Ossos Beach. Along the way are a bronze statue of her seated on a suitcase, a sculpture of three fishermen, and a bay full of fishing boats and sailing yachts. The promenade is free and ideal for an evening walk to watch the sunset. It is also one of the boarding points for island-hopping sailing trips and is within walking distance of the town centre.
