The name comes from its location which is right in front of the “Lagoinha” peak (“Ponta da Lagoinha”), where there is a huge rock and people climb to the top to see the breaking of the waves, that sometimes may rise up to 10 m high, and from where you have a beautiful view to the islands of Ancora, Gravatás and Filhote.

It is a touristic spot in Buzios, definitive stop if you are in a troley ride. According to esoteric people, this place is also considered a “Aleph” (an energy/passage portal) because it brings together all forces of nature in a harmonious way and with lots of energy (forces of the wind, rock and water).

The Ferradura beach is 2 blocks from the lodge, you can easily get there by foot, and it is also 5 minutes away from the “Rua das Pedras” (a famous street in Buzios), and right in the middle of an area of environmental protection, the “Lagoinha”.
