A surfer's paradise in blissful Buzios. Unless you're staying directly near this beach, you'll like…read morehave to taxi or dune buggy over, but it's worth it - especially if you're interested in doing some surfing. The nice thing is you don't have to bring your own gear. There are 1-2 beach kiosks that will rent boards and even give you an instructor if you're a beginner. The waves are varied so it's great for all levels of surfers. There are a few other spots where you can order some juices, beers, and grab a small bite. Although Fishbone was closed when we went, apparently they have some pretty epic sunset and nightly parties (specifically during the summer months).

I have really enjoyed my stay at Praira Geribá. The beach itself is around two miles long (I jog it…read morein the mornings), it has good surf and there is plenty of open space. There is also a good selection of bars and beach stands selling caipirinhas and food at reasonable prizes compared to the other beaches at Buzios. The surf is good, I'd say only Praira Brava has better surf in Buzios, but Brava is basically a sanctuary and you'll have to drive or walk to northeast end of Buzios. As another reviewer mentioned Praira Geribá is not close to "el centro" (Rua das Pedras) but it is accessible via taxi, it costs around 25 reals for a taxi ride to get from center to Geribá. There is also a a nice coffee shop near by on Rua Gravatas and a good Acai spot (called Acai Point), I recommend both. I will definitely come back to Praia Geribá obrigado por ler, Art

Check out the old couple with the pizza cart - amazing, cheap, friendly, yummy. The sand is beautiful and white and clean, the water freezing and lovely. Not very crowded, perfect for a morning run, ideal for sunsets. The restaurants along the beach are pretty....terrible lol. Typical Brazilian fare, beachfront prices, some live music/tvs. Not a super busy place at nice. But a lovely vacation.

This is the perfect area to watch the sunset along the Rio de Janeiro shore line. You can sit up on…read morethe rocks and watch the sun go down while admiring the waves and sounds of the ocean. You can find this area right in the middle of Ipanema and copacabana beach. Honestly if you're a sunset person Ipanema and Praia so Arpoador is where you need to be because the buildings on copacabana beach will disappoint you. Don't worry about bringing a cooler filled with drinks because you can find sellers up along the rocks. Although, I would recommend bringing a towel to sit on for sure and maybe a radio with tunes of your choice. This could legit be a perfect area to take your date and guess what? It's free! So definitely add this to your itinerary whenever you're in Rio de Janeiro .

However, the Arpoador rock formation is the reason to stop by. Climb to the edge of this rock and you will get amazing views of the sunset or sunrise. It's a great place to just sit and relax.

The most annoying thing here is all the vendors constantly coming around a little hard to relax U can grab anything from drinks, we tried one not terrible just too sweet for my taste. Food & snacks to bathing suits, bags & shirts helpful for the vendors. If you don't get anything from the vendors there are plenty of places to eat & drink along the beach. My only complain for the beach was that the water it is very rough, crazy strong current u can feel the pull just standing in the sand. We got to see beautiful sunsets, sunrise & were even lucky enough to be here when Lady Gaga played, crazy crowd by her hotel, rehearsal was a mini concert definitely a very cool experience. Nice stretch of beach, scenery is lovely & it's a great way to spend any time during your visit in Brazil.
