Despite its development as a tourist site, the former fishing village of Buzios has managed to retain its charm and, thanks to strict building regulations, its buildings are never more than one or two storeys high. Its tourist infrastructure and diverse cuisine at the highest level, yet within the smallest of spaces, are unique in South America. Twenty-five sandy beaches encircle the peninsula, and are among the most beautiful in Brazil.
