Buzios has many great beaches, but this is the best, in my opinion. If it's high season, get there early, otherwise you may not find a parking spot. More

In walking distance from Buzios if You like a 40 minute walk in the sun. A car is recommended. Very cozy beach with one large restaurant and several smaller tavernas. Normaly not to many people and a very relaxed atmosphere. The sea is calm and nice for kids also. More

Tartaruga is a good beach by Brazilian standards - the restaurant is average at best and the parking attendants are exploitative and will key your car if you don't pay them their extortion money, but it's Brazil, so what do you expect?
