Praia da Tartaruga
A calm bay on the western side of the peninsula with warm, clear water. Sea turtles are often seen here, and beachside seafood restaurants make it a regular stop for island-hopping boats.
Tartaruga Beach lies northwest of the Búzios town centre. It is a wide bay with small waves and warm water, and it takes its name from the sea turtles that often visit. It suits swimming, snorkelling and family splashing. The beach bars and seafood restaurants on the sand are popular, and the turtle viewpoint beside them looks out over the bay. The water looks slightly green in places because of nearby mangroves, but this does not affect swimming. It is about 2 km from the town centre and can be reached by taxi or bicycle.
