Búzios was, at first, a fishing village. The whole area is very rich in sea fauna, and fishermen usually come from their boats with a smile.Although the vessels are not basic, Buzios is also a good spot for the practice of coastal fishing. You can practice coastal fishing at Praia Rasa , Mangunhos, y Tucuns. The people from the place call it "fishing with a stick". Others fishing spots are rocks or cliffs, over a relative depth. The best spots for these are Ilhas da Âncora and Ilha Gravatás, the rocks of Praia João Fernandinho to Ponta do Criminoso, the rocks of Praia Olho de Boi, the rocks of Praia do Forno and Ponta da Fe-rradurinha.
You can also rent a fishing boat, a "trainiera", to have an excursion by boat. The service is very complete, and it includes the promise to fish a lot. You can get good information at the fishermen Colony ("Colonia de Pescadores").
