Forte Beach, which is the main beach in Cabo Frio and stretches the entire length of downtown. Gorgeous, soft white sand and azure waters. There is always a breeze in CF, which is so nice during the hot months. Pick a kiosk and rent your chair/umbrella and have waiters feeding you ice cold beer or other drinks as well as... More

After a day taking a boat to the stunning islands of Arrial do Cabo I thought I had seen the most stunning gorgeous clean watered sun baked beaches.

The problem here is the crowd. It is a beautiful place overlooked by an old Portuguese fort. I used to enjoy it a lot during my childhood but not anymore. It is good for a visit, to take photos and get away to find places where you really can sit down and relax

A paradisiac beach with amazing sea colors (green and blues), a pure white sand, just in front of a very busy oceandrive with many great buildings and its lively street scene. At night it is still very interesting with many goo enterteinment and food options.

You can find there the most beautiful beaches in the world. White sand (just like wheat flour), different sea colors (from green to dark blue), good and fresh sea food and amazing wind - be careful about that, the wind tends to mask the heat of the sun (sun protection all the time).

cold and clear water, it´s an urban beach but you cant ask for more! if you don´t want to travel around to find other beaches, you´ll be completely satisfied with this one.
