Cabo Frio
Located in the state of Rio de Janeiro, about two and a half hours by car or bus from the city of Rio de Janeiro, Cabo Frio was not always known for its beaches.
One of the oldest cities in this part of Brazil, Cabo Frio was founded by the Portuguese in 1615 (before the city of Rio), and soon became an important center for transportation, fishing and salt trade, which contributed to a wealth which peaked at the end of the 19th century.
The city has experienced an economic crisis in recent years, but was saved when oil was discovered nearby about 20 years ago.
The sun and the sand also helped save Cabo Frio. Today, this city of 120,000 people attracts more than one million tourists during the summer months.
This seafront city is still widely explored by foreign tourists, as well as those from Rio de Janeiro, Florianópolis, Belo Horizonte, Brasilia and other nearby cities.

Gastronomy
As in any coastal city, menus are essentially based on fish and seafood dishes. The region is very well served with fish such as snapper, anchovies and dorado, accompanied by French fries or cassava (cassava) and salad. There are many waterfront kiosks that offer such options on the menu, but before ordering, be aware of the size of the fish, which may vary by place and day.
The visitor also finds meats and dishes of international cuisine. Options are not lacking and most of the restaurants in the city focus on the canal and the neighborhood of Passage.
The shore of Praia do Forte is stocked with restaurants and kiosks for all palates. As a guarantee of good price and quality, watch out for the movement at the tables: the frequency of "locals" is usually the best thermometer to evaluate the service of an establishment.

Weather
The climate is semi-arid (hot and humid). The sun shines on average 315 days a year, with temperatures ranging from 40 ° in January to 16 ° in June.
Too much sun, too little rain, and low air humidity are the factors responsible for the frequency and intensity of the northeasterly wind, which blows almost all year long and pushes away the heavy clouds.
