In general, the southern beaches are trick ier to get to, but are prettier and have better surf. The northern beaches are more sheltered and closer to the towns. Geriba and Ferradurinha (Little Horseshoe) south of Manguinhos, are beautiful beaches with good surf, but the Buzios Beach Club has built condos here. Next on the coast is Ferradura, large enough for windsurfing.
Praia Olho de Boi (Bull's Eye Beach), at the eastern tip of the peninsula is a pocket size beach reached by a little
trail from the long, clean Praia Brava. Near the northern tip of the promontory, Joao Fernandinho, Joao Fernandes and the topless Azedinha and Azeda are all good for snorkeling. Praia da Tartaruga is quiet and pretty.
