Originally settled by European pirates and slave traders, the town of Buzios began as a quaint and quiet fishing village. The Búzios peninsula has an extension of about 8 km (5 mi) and ocean currents from Antarctica and Brazil influence its climate. North Búzios has beaches with calm and warm water, like Tartaruga, Azeda and João Fernandes, while the southern beaches are mostly open ocean with a bit colder water, like Geribá and Tucuns.

Some bays like Ferradura and Forno have very peculiar geography, looking like islands. Downtown Buzios there is an abundance of restaurants and an array of live music shows, bars, night clubs and the Rua das Pedras (Street of Stones) , which ensure a thriving electric night life. Local and international boutiques and art galleries with unique crafts and jewelry also are dotted along the shores.
