Foguete Beach is a fairly remote and flat stretch of sand backed by a line of mossy green terrain. The beach itself is one of the quietest sites in the Cabo Frio region, while the ocean can be fairly wild at times, attracting watersports enthusiasts. Go windsurfing, kitesurfing or surfing on the mighty waves of the Atlantic Ocean.
Wander along this long beach with your kids and hunt for aquatic treasures. Bring snorkeling gear to discover the range of colourful fish in the water. Try out a wide range of different watersports, while staying mindful of the strong currents. The beach offers excellent conditions for various active pursuits, and has hosted surfing championships in the past.
Capture unbelievably perfect photos of the scenic stretch of white sand and the distant cliffs across the water. Rolling green hills form the backdrop to the beach. Bask in the beauty of this lovely spot as you sunbathe on the fine white sand to build up a tan. When you need a change of pace, cool down in the refreshing, deep waters of the Atlantic Ocean.
Walk south down the beach to find the wonderful Meio Lagoon. Stroll along the tranquil walking paths that enclose this very photogenic body of water and enjoy the picturesque views. This impressive water basin is made from the adjacent ocean water, although it is a little warmer. Discover a similar lagoon at the northern end of the beach.
Stay the night at one of the few holiday homes at the back of the beach. Although it is peaceful and relatively undeveloped, the strand also has a few bars and restaurants spread along the nearby boardwalk.
Foguete Beach is in the southern outskirts of Cabo Frio. Take a taxi south from the centre of the town for around 3 miles (4.8 kilometres) to get here within 10 minutes. Spend some time exploring the other nearby attractions too. These include the adjacent Dunas Beach, Águas Plaza and Forte Beach.
