after spending so much time under the water travelers might want to spend some quality time on the water and búzios is ideal for this.

enthusiastic sailors travel from all over the world to catch the wind here, as the coastline is very much appreciated for its sail-friendly qualities.

so much so that both national and international competitions are held regularly in búzios' waters -usually to the west of the peninsula.

tartaruga and ferradura beaches are perfect for novices, while the seasoned pros, who have earned their sea legs, tend to find the rapid breezes at manguinhos and rasa more to their liking - windsurfing at these points is also possible.
