Ferradura is one of the simpler Buzios beaches for calm-water entries, but the left side gets busier and more structured than the quieter right-hand edge.
About Praia da Ferradura
Praia da Ferradura is a broad horseshoe bay where sheltered water, easy shore logistics, and plenty of beach support make underwater sessions feel low-friction by Buzios standards. It fits best as a relaxed snorkel, swim, or light freedive beach rather than a technical dive objective, with the quietest water usually tucked away from the busier left-hand service strip.

Snorkel
Ferradura works best for easy snorkeling close to shore and around the calmer edges of the bay rather than for long exploratory swims.
