Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Not worth it. The city hall charges you 48.00 to spend 10 hours at the location. The local kiosk occupied all the sand with tents, forcing you to rent it for 80.00 (02/11/2024). And anyone who doesn't want a tent is forced to go through humiliation, squeezed between their tents. It's not worth it, because the water is too cold and not crystal clear.

Unfortunately, the experience in Búzios is disappointing. Not because of nature, which is beautiful. But because of the lack of respect with which they treat Brazilian tourists. Exorbitant prices, lack of charisma and respect. They pay attention to people who do not speak Portuguese or are foreigners. They almost melt talking to them. When they realize that we are Brazilians, they look like this: "The poor have arrived." It seems that our money is worth less or that we have a discount. They don't even know what people's financial condition is. I am extremely upset. I don't intend to stay there ever again!

Excellent beach with awesome views of the surround hills. The Bay keeps the waves low and the hills protect from wind. Great service stands with beach chairs, umbrellas, and food. M

Getting there is very easy and nice, the beach is very pretty, the bad thing is that it is very small. Full of Brazilian tourists, where you can't sit because there is no room for the amount of people. So I was there for 10 minutes and I had to leave since I couldn't stay. Plus they shout too much, a disappointment. I would go only in low season

The beach is beautiful, but it's a shame what they're doing there. The strip of sand is small and completely taken over by tents. You had to pay to be there. As I was with family, the fee was 300 reais. Almost a daily stay at several inns... We know that Búzios is expensive, but the beach is a public environment. We generally pay for consumption. Even if I took things, I wouldn't be able to stay because I didn't have space. The city hall had to do something. Absurd!

Beautiful place, but lousy and deceptive attention. We ate at an inn (not an inn) called “Delta 7”, in which they persuaded us to stay and sold us very expensive food for what it was; it came cold and we had an hour and a half wait. The attendants lied to us about many things, such as having a private bathroom. They also told us about different aspects of the beach such as the tide going out, which was wrong. The restrooms were uncomfortable and it is suspected that their food was not made in the place or time, that is, that it was ordered from another place. In short, the stay at this “inn” was not good.

Beach with a good length in relation to its size and strip of sand all the way to the sea. At the same time as it has a structure with bars, restaurants and public bathrooms, it also has space for those who prefer to stay isolated. Very beautiful and extremely calm sea.
In my opinion, the best in Buzios.

We went after visiting Geriba, you leave the car a block away and walk, it is like a lock, beautiful views.....we rented an umbrella without obligation to consume as in other beaches. In the afternoon we walked towards one end and saw stones and clearer water. Nice to spend the whole day at the beach

Inconvenient sellers are already approaching the beach entrance, terrible!!! They took over the strip of sand with tables, lots of environments. A place that was supposed to be peaceful turned into chaos. I went and came back at the same time, I stayed at Bone Beach.
The sea is beautiful!!

Maybe I went with greater expectation and that's why I wasn't dazzled. Iagua is a beach that you can't miss. Cdo arrives (after walking about 1 kilometer from the main avenue or go by uber) you find the image that gives its name, a beach surrounded by two horseshoe-shaped, very photogenic noses. We walk to the right edge, passing some rocks to get away from the stoppers and we settle there. The water is warm, and without waves, what I did not poarecio is that it is the most crystal clear water of the peninsula.The environment of the noses with the mansions at heights makes the landscape very top.

Hola, estoy viajando a Buzios el próximo mes de julio. Estoy a 7 cuadras de la playa de Ferradura. Me gustaría saber como es esa playa, como son los precios para cenar en un restaurante sin lujos y si es un lugar seguro para que podamos salir caminando por las noches hasta el centro o si conviene tomar Uber, combos o bus. Ahhh cual es la playa mas linda? Hare también una excursión de 1 dia a Arrail. Conviene sacar actividades o paseos desde Argentina, o son mas económicos allá? gracias

Nosotros fuimos en carnaval, el agua es un poco fria pero la playa muy linda y tranquila. Tenes barcitos para almorzar en la playa sin problema. Nos hospedamos en el centro, ahi esta lleno de restaurantes y podes ir en Uber que funciona bien. Desde el centro a Ferradura fuimos caminando, esta bueno, vas conociendo. Ferradura es una de las playas que más me gustó junto con Brava.

Hola Ana Maria: Tenes de todo allì, consumiendo las sillas son gratuitas, es recomendable para los dìas de viento, en esa playa no se siente, debido a su forma de herradura, sus aguas son muy tranquilas, ideal para ir con niños y también practicar deportes náuticos.
