a five kilometer trip from the center of cabo frio will lead to praia do siqueira, a stunning lakeside beach - araruama lagoonto be exact.

located next to cabo frio airport, praia do sudoeste beach can be found on the shores of the araruama lagoon - it is an ideal spot for picnics,  as long as visitors remember to take their rubbish with them upon leaving.

the water at praia do foguete is cold and deep - which can come as a shock - however, the sandy stretch is rarely crowded and a fine place to practice sailing, windsurfing and kite sailing.
