Located on a peninsula between the Atlantic and the coastal maritime currents Búzios enjoys a pleasant year-round climate, with temperatures averaging about 79ºF (26ºC).

High season is apt to be crowded and expensive as are weekends during the year.

Out of season and mid-week visits are less crowded and less expensive. Reservations are always a good idea.

Things to do and see

visit a different beach every day. You'd need several weeks to get to them all!

The beaches on the east, on the Atlantic side, are windier with cooler water, ideal for sports.

The beaches on the west offer calmer, warmer water, ideal for swimming and sun-bathing.

Take the Búzios Trolley on a tour of the area, complete with a description of the peninsula's history and geography.
