Geribá Canto Esquerdo guide
Location
About the spot
The left corner of Geribá Beach, in Búzios, Rio de Janeiro, is the calmest part of the beach, with gentler water and direct access to neighboring Ferradurinha Beach. The bottom is sand, and although Geribá's strongest waves are concentrated from the middle toward the right corner, this side has always been the meeting point of the beach's more roots crowd, with fishermen keeping their boats there.
The crowd is smaller and the vibe more authentic, with simpler kiosks and less of the buzz found along the rest of the shore. It's also the best place to park for anyone planning to walk on to Ferradurinha after the surf session. Choose this corner if you're after calmer water or want to enjoy the day with a walk to the neighboring beach.
