Several beaches in Búzios have access ramps and accessible public restrooms, while initiatives such as the Mar para Todos Project provide assisted sea bathing experiences using amphibious beach wheelchairs.

The Mar para Todos Project is an initiative of the Municipality of Armação dos Búzios, through its Municipal Department for People with Disabilities, aimed at improving access to beach recreation for people with disabilities and reduced mobility.
The project provides amphibious beach wheelchairs and a support team, allowing participants to enjoy assisted sea bathing experiences.
Beaches that have previously hosted Mar para Todos activities include:

Appointments must be requested at least 3 days in advance, with the date and time arranged directly with the project team.
The Municipal Department for People with Disabilities provides administrative assistance Monday through Friday, from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM.

Another option for people with disabilities or reduced mobility is renting an amphibious beach wheelchair during their stay in Búzios.
An amphibious beach wheelchair is specially designed to facilitate movement across the sand and provide access to the water with the assistance of a companion.
Unlike a conventional wheelchair, it features wide wheels and other characteristics designed for use in beach environments.
This equipment may benefit wheelchair users, older adults, and visitors with mobility difficulties.
The wheelchair should be used with appropriate assistance, taking into account sea conditions, the characteristics of the beach, and each person's individual needs.
Turismo Acessível can arrange amphibious beach wheelchair rental in Búzios, upon advance request and subject to availability.
This service is independent of the Mar para Todos Project and may be an alternative for visitors who wish to have access to the equipment during their stay.
An accessible trip requires careful planning, especially when it involves accommodation, transportation, and beach activities.
Before traveling, it is important to check the features of the adapted guest room, bathroom accessibility, the need for transportation in an adapted vehicle, and the accessibility of the places you plan to visit.
We also recommend assessing in advance whether an amphibious beach wheelchair, companion, or specialized assistance will be needed.
Although some beaches have access ramps and accessible restrooms, this does not mean that every area is fully accessible for all mobility needs.
Access conditions may vary depending on the maintenance of facilities, visitor numbers, and environmental conditions.
