Virgin Beach (Praia das Virgens) is one of the most secluded beaches in Búzios, known for its small sandy cove and largely untouched natural surroundings. Its remote location and limited land access make it a favorite for visitors who want privacy, nature and unique coastal views. It’s commonly seen during boat tours but rarely found by most visitors on foot.:contentReference[oaicite:6]{index=6}
Access
Land access is only possible at low tide via narrow rocky trails. One trail starts at the left end of Praia do Canto and another from the rocky headland of Praia da Tartaruga. These trails are narrow, uneven and require careful footing. Alternatively, small boats and water taxis allow visitors to see or reach the beach from the sea.:contentReference[oaicite:7]{index=7}

The beach remains largely undeveloped, with no formal services or support infrastructure. Its small sand strip is flanked by rocks and native vegetation, offering a rare and intimate coastal experience. Visitors should bring water, sunscreen and food due to lack of facilities.:contentReference[oaicite:8]{index=8}
