Tucked away, off the peninsula of
Buzios proper is
Praia Rasa. It's a long beach, and silty, with a curious island off the coast. Still, the less expensive homes in Buzios are here mainly because there is no protection from being out on the peninsula. That doesn't mean the peninsula is a safe haven, but it is better that the open land of
Praia Rasa. In any case, be safe and you'll love it here.
But the main sport is
kitesurfing and windsurfing. Though the surf here is slightly more heavy than at Praia de Manguinhos, it still makes an excellent setting for a great ride. Afternoon trade winds provide excellent consistent lift for boarding from one end to the other.
