Brazilian Coastal Paradise
Buzios, once a quiet fishing village discovered by French actress Brigitte Bardot in the 1960s, has become one of Brazil's most sophisticated beach destinations. The peninsula's 23 beaches offer everything from calm family-friendly bays to surf breaks.
Praia da Ferradura
This horseshoe-shaped bay (whose name means 'horseshoe' in Portuguese) provides natural protection from strong waves, making it ideal for swimming and water sports. The rocky outcrops frame the scene while small fishing boats share the waters with visiting yachts.
