Initially a fishing village, Armação dos Buzios is a small beach resort town about three hours from Rio de Janeiro by bus. Buzios is a common weekend getaway destination for Cariocas. With 23 beaches, visitors from all over come to swim, snorkel, surf and enjoy sun and sand.

Rua das Pedras is the main pedestrian street in Armação which runs along the edge of the Atlantic Ocean, great for strolling, dining, shopping, and entertainment. Parking can be difficult to find, but bargaining is encouraged.

Day or night, Rua das Pedras is bustling with diners, families, and people-watchers of all ages, especially during high season. Both small boutiques and designer labels have their shops here for those keen on shopping. Ladies should leave their high heels behind if they want to avoid getting stuck in the cobblestone street. Rua das Pedras is the place to be at night with its variety of restaurants, bars and nightlife which starts late and closes even later.

A walk along Orla Bardot, just east of Rua das Pedras, provides beautiful panoramic views of the water, less for swimming than for views and boat rides. Many docked fishing boats as well as bronze status of fishermen casting their nets to sea can be seen along this walking path. Don't miss the bronze statue of Brigitte Bardot seated on a bench, who made Buzios famous when she visited in the 60s.

At the end of the Orla Bardot is Praça dos Ossos, which features Christina Motta's bronze sculptures of children at play, entitled "Child Scene." Motta's work displays a girl walking the ledge of a bench and another girl lying down, reading book, and their black and white puppy approaching.

Activities
Of the 23 beaches, Praia Azeda and Praia Azedina are two small beaches on the northwest side with clear and calm waters, perfect for fishing, boating or swimming and accessible via boat-taxi or a walk from Armação.

It is likewise protected from the strong Atlantic waves and is ideal for swimming, snorkeling, and watersports, like jet-skiing. Families and vacationers of all ages can enjoy the sand, waters, and shade of the straw huts.

On the southside is Praia Ferradurinha, a smaller and more secluded beach accessible only via taxi or car and then a short walk to the beach, as roads become too narrow for vehicles. Ferradurinha has a short stretch of sand with calm waters because of the cove which protects it from waves. The beach is a starting point for paddleboarders and kayakers, and also houses a restaurant and bar close to the shore. The jutting and flat rocks offer a picturesque photo opp with clear blue waters and views looking inland and out into the ocean.

Just northwest of Praia Ferradura is of Praia de Geriba, a long stretch of beach with soft sands and various surfing conditions. This beach is popular with families and surfers and in the center, features Fishbone, a popular beach club and restaurant, famous for its moqueca.

Toward the north side of the peninsula is Porto da Barra, originally a fish market that is now in an area populated with many restaurants and shops and boasts a relaxed and romantic ambiance to watch the sunset.
