Armação dos Búzios, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
There are two versions of the origin of the beach's name: in one, João Fernandes was a Portuguese man who used the beach to defend himself from attacks by foreign vessels. In the other, he was arrested and sentenced to die in the stocks, in 1679, for fishing in these waters, where fishing was banned by royal decree between the coast of Campos and Maricá. On the beaches of Búzios, very calm seas tend to be found more often in summer.
