from praia do pontal visitors can enjoy beautiful views of the coast as far as praia do forte in cabo frio, with the city of cabo frio in the background, of ilha do pontal which is situated in front of the beach, and of morro do mirante, located next to the beach. 

praia do foguete, which located between praia do pontal and cabo frio's praia do forte, is a tranquil beach featuring 7.5kilometers of white sand and clear blue-green water - with cold water and strong currents, the beach is more suitable for surfers and windsurfers than bathers.

its wild landscape and peaceful atmosphere offer a good settling for a stroll, and there is a small number of kiosks and bars and restaurants located on the promenade if any visitors are looking for satisfying one's thirst or hunger - its unusual name comes from a nearby navy club water tank that is in the shape of a 'foguete' or rocket.
