Olho de Boi Beach is the only officially recognized naturist (nudist) beach in Búzios. Small and secluded, with around 100 meters of shoreline, it is set between rocky cliffs and native vegetation, creating a quiet and private cove focused on naturism, privacy and nature.

Natural features

The beach has a narrow strip of sand, clear water on calm days and rocky walls that help shelter it from wind. When the sea is stronger, waves hit the rocks and create small natural waterfalls. Shells and sea remnants are common along the sand, reinforcing its wild character. The name “Olho de Boi” comes from red seeds found in the area.

Naturism rules

Nudism is mandatory on the sand area. Clothing is only allowed on the rocks or during the access trail. Photography and filming are strictly prohibited to protect visitors’ privacy. Respectful behavior and discretion are core principles of the beach.

Access (trail only)

Access is exclusively via a trail starting at the right side of Praia Brava. The route is about 1 km long, steep in parts, and takes approximately 20 to 40 minutes. Proper footwear and attention are required.
