these fragments are very white when dry, and golden when wet or under water. though these fragments are not as fine as sand, they are quite pleasant to the touch and fun to play with.

the beauty of praia dos búzios is in the surrounding nature, the peaceful setting, the view of the island ilha rasa de guaratiba, and the small natural pools where it is possible to sit and enjoy the tides. because of the rocks and the water pools, this beach is a beloved setting for artistic and unusual wedding and fashion shots.
