Geribá Canto Direito

The right corner of Geribá Beach, in Búzios, Rio de Janeiro, sits near Ponta do Marisco and holds the busiest point on the beach, both in the water and on the sand, thanks to its proximity to the popular Fishbone Café. The bottom is sand, and sandbanks spread along the beach form strong, sometimes hollow waves in both directions, but the biggest and best ones usually break from the middle of the beach to the right corner.

The beach faces east, so it picks up east and southeast swell best, at a spot that delivers good conditions both for surfers who are progressing and for more experienced ones. The crowd here is heavy, driven by the buzz of the bars and parties on the sand, especially on holidays and in summer. It's worth climbing the rock trail at the right corner for a full view of the lineup before choosing where to paddle out.
