Praia dos Ossos is one of the most famous beaches in the resort of Armação dos Búzios, on the coast of the state of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Its name comes from the activity of whaling, carried out in the village from 1730 onwards, which scattered the bones of the animals on the sands of the beach.

It is a small, deserted beach that still retains its native vegetation. It is accessible only on foot at low tide, through narrow trails that depart from Praia do Canto or through Praia da Tartaruga. It has beautiful stretches of sand. Really worth a visit, especially for those who like a unique landscape.
