Praia da Ferradura
A horseshoe-shaped enclosed bay with a surface as calm as a lake. It is ideal for children to splash about and for paddleboarding, and the surroundings are lined with upscale villas and resort hotels.
Ferradura means 'horseshoe' in Portuguese, and the beach takes its name from its curved bay. The narrow mouth of the bay keeps the water almost free of waves, making it one of the best beaches in Búzios for families and water sports. Paddleboards and kayaks can be rented. Along the sand are restaurants and resort hotels, and the Ponta da Ferradura viewpoint at the bay mouth offers a panoramic view. There is also a smaller beach, Ferradurinha, nearby. It is about 3 km from the town centre and can be reached by taxi or bus.
