Despite the crowds, I found myself thoroughly enamored with this beach. The natural beauty of the surroundings was simply stunning, and the water was warm and inviting. There were plenty of options for food and drink, though I must admit that this particular beach may not be the absolute best in Buzios. It's worth a visit, however, especially for adult travelers who are comfortable in deeper waters. Parents with small children may want to exercise caution, as the waves can be quite strong and the water gets quite deep just a few meters from the shore.

I must say, this sandy shore is truly a sight to behold 👀. And the underwater world that awaits you is simply breathtaking 😲. The snorkeling experience here is nothing short of spectacular 😍. I mean, who needs a fancy aquarium when you can witness the wonders of marine life in their natural habitat 🐠🐙🐬. This beach has definitely set the bar high, making it hard to beat 👐.
