A day on the peninsula east of Rio: the waterfront where Brigitte Bardot once stayed, Rua das Pedras, and two or three of its quiet beaches.
The day
A long drive, so we leave early. Most of the day is spent on the beaches.
07:00
Your hotel
Collected anywhere in Rio. Búzios is about three hours away by road.
10:00
Orla Bardot
The waterfront walk, with the statue of Brigitte Bardot, who made the town famous in the 1960s.
11:00
João Fernandes beach
A small, calm bay with clear water, good for a swim.
12:30
Rua das Pedras, and lunch
The cobbled main street, with restaurants, shops and the fishing boats in front.
14:00
Geribá or Ferradura
Geribá is long and open to the waves; Ferradura is a sheltered horseshoe bay. Your driver takes you to whichever you prefer.
15:00
Back to Rio
The drive home along the Região dos Lagos.
18:00
Back to your hotel
In the early evening.
