Praia Geriba beach in Buzios is located exactly to the right of the entrance to the Buzios peninsula. Praia Geriba is a very long beach that almost touches Tucuns beach. Were it not for a mountain that separates the two, Geriba beach and Tucuns would be considered as one long stretch of sand. Even so, Geriba beach is very long. Praia Geriba is one of the longest beaches in Buzios. To add to this feature, Geriba beach is also blessed with so much sand that makes it the widest beach that can be found in Buzios. The sand is so wide at Praia Geriba that you can play volley or soccer and have more than enough room to spare for beach umbrellas.
Because of the long shoreline of Geriba beach, different areas along the shoreline of Praia Geriba have different conditions. The east side of Praia Geriba has gentler waves while the opposite west end has very turbulent waters. There are lifeguards stationed at both the west and central parts of Geriba beach. At the central shores of Geriba beach, the waves are rather strong. This makes it perfect for short or long boarding. Off the shores of Geriba beach, the wind blows continuously which makes Praia Geriba the ideal beach for wind surfing. There are some kite surfers here also but you'll find more kite surf action at Praia da Rasa and Manguinhos beach in Buzios.
The central beach of Geriba is where most of the actions happens. There is a bar and a disco to amuse you during your stay in Geriba beach. If you happen to be at Praia Geriba on a Thursday night, make sure not to miss the weekly pig roast. You will also want to stuff yourself with pizza. This can happen during Sunday nights with the grand pizza buffet also here at Praia Geriba beach in Buzios.
At the Praia Geriba beach in Buzios, you will find many apartments, houses and pousadas that you can rent during your stay. Some of these rentals are next to the beach itself. I'm having a rather good time thinking dreamily about opening my door and immediately stepping barefoot onto the sands of Praia Geriba beach. The dream stops in my pocket though. A day's rent for a house with immediate access to Praia Geriba can cost you US $200.00. Then I have to have money to buy stuff and food and drinks and water sports equipment rentals and basically financially survive my whole vacation. Anyway, send me a picture if you manage to get to Praia Geriba beach in Buzios, Brazil.
