Praia do Forte Shoreline, Cabo Frio

The Beach and Its Bay

Praia do Forte is the longest beach in Cabo Frio, an arching ribbon of quartz-white sand renowned for its remarkable clarity and softness. The gentle bay opens onto calm, shallow water that draws bathers and families to the shore.

Cabo Frio and the Costa do Sol

Set on Brazil's Costa do Sol in the state of Rio de Janeiro, Cabo Frio is a lively seaside destination prized for its dune landscapes, dry climate and cooling coastal breezes that give the town its name.

Along the Seafront

The camera takes in the Avenida do Forte promenade, its rows of lampposts and palms, and the wooded headlands that rise at either end of the sands, offering an ever-changing panorama of the coast.
