Cabo Frio

When to go and how to get there

Cabo Frio is a reference when it comes to  the Lakes Region.  This municipality has a great visual and infrastructure. Cabo Frio is also generous with fans of yachting – the winds are very strong there – and diving, which find rich marine life.

When to go?

In the high season months, December to February, the weather is hot and the city and its beaches are always crowded. It is not a very pleasant time due to “overcrowding”.

During this summer season, and especially on New Year’s Eve, January and the carnival season, the beaches are full and there is a lot of congestion in much of the city. When searching for accommodation, it is advisable to do everything in advance.

During periods of long holidays and school holidays, too, the region is usually very crowded.

If you want to avoid crowded beaches and inflated prices, avoid these periods.

Throughout the year the temperatures are pleasant and warm. What should be taken into account is the number of tourists. If you don’t mind full beaches, visit in high summer, but if you enjoy something more “private” choose the “low” seasons (March to May or August to November).

After that period, from March to May, the climate is still warm, the waters are still pleasant (although they are always cold throughout the year) and the beaches and main attractions are much more empty, which allows a period of tranquility to visit the city. region.

In the winter period there is still a pleasant climate, but with a lot of wind and very cold water (characteristic of the region, but in summer it is possible to circumvent this aspect).
