Cabo Frio: the BEST beach in Brazil | travel vlog

Cabo Frio again! This is my favorite road trip from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Cabo Frio is 100 miles (160 km) from Rio, and in my opinion, this is the best beach in Brazil. Why? The color of the water is crystal clear, the sand is so white and fine, and the weather is great for most of the time.

Cabo Frio is about 2 hours from Rio de Janeiro, and it's worth it! In this trip to Brazil, I'll also show Buzios, a nearby beach community. Coming up!

More details about what you see in this Brazil travel vlog:

► Cabo Frio: Cabo Frio is a city in the state of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. With no traffic, you can drive in two and a half hours (way more on holidays and weekends). It's famous for its white sand beaches with crystal clear and cold waters

► Praia do Forte (Forte Beach): This is Cabo Frio's most famous beach.
Overlooking the sea, on the far left, is 17th-century St Matthew fort with its rusted cannons. Entrance is free.

► Ilha do Japonês (Japanese island): Beautiful uninhabited island at the beginning of the canal which serves the region's Araruama lagoon. There's no infrastructure in the island, but more often than not there are vendors selling food and drinks. There's a kiosk in front of the island on the Peró side, and it's easy to walk across the sea during the low tide.

► Passagem: This is Cabo Frio's oldest area, now fully revitalized. The neighborhood features colonial houses, many of them are now bars and restaurants. From Passagem you can get the taxi-boat to Ilha do Japonês for 15 Brazilian Reais

► WHO AM I?

I am a Brazilian-American journalist living in Florida. After traveling the world working with sports, news, and events for over 15 years, I realized that what I really love is the travel part of it all. So I exchanged the life in the newsrooms and stadiums for the daily challenge of being an independent content producer.

I created this channel to share the beauties of the world... stuff that for so long I only kept to myself. Also to help people planning similar trips and to inspire more people to venture out and enjoy life!

P.S .: The guy who occasionally appears in the vlogs is my husband, Gordon. He is Canadian-American and is extremely shy, that's why he's behind the camera most of the time ;)

I grew up spending every summer at this beach in Brazil, which is totally unknown abroad ❤️. And look at Gordon improving his Portuguese skills! 😂😂

[олегсвежинцев-шш]

Ok I think I have binge watched all your videos. I love Brazil. My Mom is half Portuguese (from the Azores). I spent a few weeks in Brazil during my college years. Rio, then lived with a family for a week in Belo Horizonte, Brasília, Salvador( where there was a large mural of Salvador Dali), Recife (Olinda), Manaus (where we saw the Negro and Amazon not mix for miles, and slept on a boat in hammocks in the rainforest after fishing for piranha) then back to Rio. I would love to see a vlog on Olinda. Thank U2 for your work and love for travel. Bill
