Bustling Beaches of Rio

Armação dos Búzios, a peninsula east of Rio de Janeiro, features over 20 distinct beaches. The northern shores, such as Praia da Ferradura and Azeda, offer calm, warm waters suitable for snorkeling. The southern Atlantic-facing beaches, including Geribá and Brava, provide strong swells for surfing. This list highlights diverse coastal spots, from the historic fishing harbor at Praia dos Ossos to the secluded, reddish sands of Praia do Forno.
