Cabo Frio is an incredible place to spend time, especially for rollerblading enthusiasts like myself. However, it would be even more enjoyable if the marine life and water quality were given more attention and care.

The square itself may appear a bit worn down and poorly maintained, but it is situated right by the ocean and the view is absolutely stunning!

The beach is absolutely stunning, with its off-white sandy shores and vibrant green waters. It is conveniently situated close to the city center, making it easily accessible. However, if you prefer tranquil, waveless waters, this may not be the ideal spot for you. On the bright side, there are numerous food carts in the vicinity offering a wide array of mouthwatering options.
