cabo frio is very accessible destination from búzios and it is the most populous city in the very pretty região dos lagos region - the area tends to be more crowded than arraial do cabo due to the area's picture perfect beaches, which are often packed tight with sun worshippers and brazilians parading around in nothing more than a tight pair of speedos.

whether visitors are looking to explore cabo frio's cultural heritage, or simply desiring some peace and quiet on the beach, the coastal city has it all - from beautiful churches and interesting museums to stunning sandy stretches and fine restaurants serving authentic brazilian cuisine.

with so many beaches to choose from, visitors probably won't get time to visit them all in just one day - praia do forte, praia do siqueira, and praia das palmeiras are highly recommended.
