About the spot
Tucuns Beach lies about 7 km south of Búzios town center, on the road to Cabo Frio, between Morro do Marisco and Ponta das Emerências. It is the natural continuation of the popular Geribá Beach but far more preserved and empty.
The bottom is sand, and sandbanks along the whole length of the beach form good waves that open in both directions, with the spot picking up east swell well. With no kiosks or vendor stands along the sand, the beach keeps an untouched feel and is popular with surfers as well as with the LGBTQIA+ community looking for peace and quiet.
The clear, cold water, influenced by the upwelling that comes from Arraial do Cabo, gives good visibility for anyone who likes to dive after the session. It's worth walking to the end of the beach to find a trail leading to another neighboring beach, and enjoying the long strip of sand to escape the bustle of downtown Búzios.
