The "inha" on the end means "small" in Brasilian Portuguese, and this is the smaller of the two beaches which share the name Ferradura.

It's very big and quite a nice walk from one end to the other. It's not too crowded like some of the other beaches in Buzios and it had some beautiful views and a few nice restaurants to choose from to have something to eat or a cocktail.

A very small beach, astonishing landscape. Waters a bit dirty, nevertheless the view pays the 20 min walk. Great to dive, snorkel and kayaking

Small & private, hidden away from tourist crowds - take the swan ride and see turtles swimming in the ocean!

Ferradura Beach (Horse Shoe Beach) has this specific name because of the its shape. The narrow entrance from the sea allows that this beach remain with calm waters.

Ferradurinha (little horseshoe, in portuguese) is a tiny beach that can be reached on foot from the left corner of Geribá. On an empty weekday, it can be heaven.
