In Brazil, there are giant stretches of unexplored rainforest, islands with pristine beaches and endless rivers. The small city of Cabo Frio feels like it’s just been discovered. The principle beach is Praia do Forte, or Fort Beach, which sprawls wide and unbroken for more than four miles. On the left side you will find the São Mateus fort, which is a protected site by the National Historic Heritage Institute. This is also the perfect place to snap a photo of the stunning view of the coast. If you enjoy shelling, visit Concha Beach, which gets its name from the treasures you’ll find in the sand. And if you prefer an active beach day, head to the white sand dunes of Dunas Beach, perfect for surfing, kite surfing and sailing.
