Buzios, Brazil

Buzios is a resort and beach town with 23 carved out beaches on an interestingly shaped peninsula. It became notorious for European travelers because the actress Bridget Bardot went there often. They even have a street in the small town named after her. We spent my 30th birthday in this town and ate a Thai restaurant along the waterfront. We spent 2 days sunbathing at the beach and enjoying the plethera of items being sold--sandwiches, fresh oysters, dresses, table linens, small toy boats, luggage, dish towels, fruit salad, etc. The pausada (cabin) we were in was on a hill that overlooked the ocean. The central part of town had cobblestone streets with many clothing shops and restaurants and was entirely pedestrian.
