Rocka Beach Lounge

Top choice in Búzios


Prime people-watching and some of Búzios' most creative cuisine are the twin draws at this casual-chic seafood eatery perched directly above Praia Brava. Rocka is a full-day event for most visitors, who linger long after lunchtime on the lounge chairs and beds spread out on terraced hillsides overlooking the beach. Reserve ahead for weekends, when things fill up fast.
