Cabo Frio offers tourists much more than beautiful beaches. The history of the city (and nearby regions) dates back to the beginning of the 16th century, when the explorer Amerigo Vespucci landed in those waters. Previously inhabited by Tamoio Indians, Cabo Frio changed its face and went through intense periods of invasions and disputes. The signs of those times can still be seen in places like Forte São Mateus – which adorns the main beach of Cabo Frio. Today Cabo Frio is one of the main tourist destinations in Rio de Janeiro and awaits you!
Due to its privileged geographical position, Cabo Frio is surrounded by the waters of the Atlantic and has several beaches: quiet or more agitated, urban or more reserved, all lit up by the sun, which shines here from January to January!

In high season, the gang takes care of the extensive Praia do Forte beach, which is also full of bars and restaurants and the scene of the beautiful fireworks display on New Year's Eve. The popular beach, which starts at Forte São Mateus, extends to the surfers' favorite spots, such as Foguete and Dunas beaches. Surfboards are also present on beaches on the other side of the Itajuru Channel, such as Brava, also frequented by naturists, and Peró.
