Cabo Frio
Wide Atlantic beaches, the Itajurú Canal, and a historic fort give Cabo Frio a coastline with more than one pace.
Why visit
What makes this place worth the trip.
Praia do Forte is the city’s central stretch of sand, with Forte São Mateus at its edge; the Itajurú Canal offers a calmer counterpoint to the open coast. That makes Cabo Frio practical for travellers who want beach time without leaving an urban base behind. Choose the neighbourhood for the kind of day you want: a long beach, the canal, or access to the wider Lakes Region. It is not a substitute for a secluded island stay.
