If you go to the Bridget Bardot statue, or even just walk along Rua das Pedras (the main street in the center of town), you will find not only flyers posted, but vendors trying to sell you a boat excursion. These packages usually cost around $35-60 per person, and include lunch and a boat tour of the beaches and islands in Buzios. You will be on a boat with anywhere from 10 to 30 people and taken all around, stopping for 1/2 hour here and there to dive. Drinks are available (not inlcuded in the price) and usually the boat will stop for lunch. After lunch, the boat stops at a crowded touristy beach where lots of vendors are selling anything from shells to lobster, to fried cheese. This is an all day excursion and is well worth the money. Bring a camera (the boats are generally safe in that people don't steal) and BRING SUNBLOCK. I can't express this more. You will be in the sun all day, and you will need sunblock. Other things to bring: sunglasses, diving shorts (for jumping off the second level of the boat). maybe flip flops for the hot sandy beaches and walking off the boat into the water to access that beach.

Right in the heart of Buzios is the Evangelic Church which was inaugurated in 1963. For me it was a bit out of place since it firstly was locked and secondly surrounded by bars, restaurants and night clubs. Obviously the church was being build before Brigitte arrived at these shores :-)

One of the best ways to explore Buzios and the island surrounding it is by schooner. Bahian style schooners operate from the main pier close to the town centre and depending on duration you will pay anything between R$ 15 to R$ 50.

The fishermen at Armação Beach are bronze sculptures by artist Christina Motta, which seem to have their own life, seeing them for the first time you would imagine that there are actually three fishermen pulling nets from the sea.

The monument of Brigid Bardeau can be found along the beach promenade. Her arrival made this little sleepy fishing village famous in the 1960's and since not only local but also international tourists venture to this beach resort town of Rio State. Today she overlooks the bay and enjoys the splendor of Buzios every day.

João Fernandes Beach lies on the end of Búzios peninsula. Its calm waters and fine kiosks attracts many families and people willing to enjoy this peaceful beach.
Argentineans adopted this beach as their favorite and you´ll certainly hear spanish around here. I honestly don´t blame them. Check this wonderful view!!!

Ferradura Beach is a bay with crystal clear and calm waters all the time. The left corner has several bars that serve delicious seafood appetizers.
There are several mansions along the beach overlooking the ocean. There are windsurfing lessons and board rentals, banana-boat and ski. The water is usually a bit cold.

The Tartaruga Beach (turtle beach) has its name because there a 3 different species of turtles that come to this beach to leave their eggs.
The beach has calm waters because it doesn't receive the cold currents from Antartica. There are several kiosks and restaurants and the rocky shores are good for scuba diving and snorkeling.
It's a lovely beach, one of the most pleasant in Buzios

One of the most beautiful sunsets I've seen was in Buzios. You can view it from Orla Bardot. The sun setting on the horizon with the small boats in the sea and the glinting waters of the ocean with the last sun rays is an amazing view!
Just the perfect way to end a day, even more if you sit on a restaurant terrace having a drink at that time. It's so relaxing!

The charming "Orla Bardot" is the strech that binds the Rua das Pedras to Ossos Beach in Buzios center. It's named like that because it has a bronze statue of Brigitte Bardot, who used to go to Buzios for holidays back in the 60's.
It's a nice place to go for a walk, specially at the end of the day and watch the beautiful sunset from there. In this area is also the point of departure of the vessels that go on tours around Buzios islands and beaches.
