Some of the best vistas off of the Buzios peninsula are on the eastern shore and there are mainly rocky shorelines with mountains sloping into the sea.
There is only a couple of beaches and these are hard to get to.
We visited Brava, with the heavy surf; a beach facing northeast and open to the ocean.
There aren't many residences on this side of the peninsula either, and that's because of the terrain as well.
One beach that gets some curious visitors is
Olho de Boi.
If you go there, make sure you know that this beach is also a clothing optional beach.
