It´s a small crawded beach, always full of sunshades. Definitely, there are better beaches around Buzios

There is practically no beach, it is packed with people and there is virtually no sand or room on the sand for you to lie down. The water is on the warm side, I'll grant you that, but because so many people eat there it was dirty. We were there three times because some members of our family were staying... More

If you like beach. You must go there! Clear and warm water! Nice bars at the beach! Great for relaxing and have a great time!

We arrived in Buzios for a 1 day cruise stop. We went to Joao Fernandes beach.

We stayed near this beach in Buzios. The water is calm and there is a reef that you can snorkel.
