About Praia do Forno
Praia do Forno is a compact Buzios shore site built around reddish sand, rock-framed edges, and clear-water sessions that work best before the beach fills in. It is better for relaxed snorkeling and short freedive laps along the stones than for long scuba profiles, with a rustic feel, cooler water at times, and a layout that rewards calm sea state more than heavy infrastructure.

Review
“Great spot to hang out for the afternoon, there's a nice main beach where people are enjoying the water. If you go left along the large rocks there are some nice entry points where it's a bit deeper and has some nice snorkeling areas”
