The beach: no waves, kinda boring. But the food concession (don't know the name - or if it even has a name) has amazing caught that day right off the beach seafood, that was cooked to perfection... on a beach. Awesome. More

Nice beach with multiple beach side eateries which also rented chairs and umbrellas. Mayn beach vendors who were no aggressive and my wife actually bought two beach coverups from them which were very nice. We enjoyed two days on this beach More

Beaches in Buzios are beautiful and this is one of our favourites. Nice to hire an umbrella and chairs and spend the day sipping cold beer and champagne. 'Beach boys' are very attentive & friendly. Plenty to eat, drink and buy. More

Not my kind of place. This is the place where tourists go and you are practically forced to have an overpriced lunch if you want to sit on their chairs at the beach. More

We visited several playas in Buzios, all them worth to be seen. Jao Fernandez is the last one, on top of the peninsula. Not so big as the others one, but very clean with many restaurant and bar that can guest you. Probably one of the best playas. More
