Araruama Lake: natural beauty and water sports
The sunset is even more beautiful when
it is seen from Araruama Lake, from between the casuarinas and
near white blocks of salt and salt makers’ windmills dotting
the locale. Every single photo taken in this cinematic scene
is an instant post card.
The lake’s extremely salty water comes from the Atlantic
Ocean and has a water mirror which extends for 220 Km. The lake’s
beaches are calm, with gentle waves, warm (6-7 degrees F below
the air temperature) and shallow (averaging 2 meters deep).
Good for bathing year round, they are especially pleasing to
families with children and the elderly.
All along the shore there are simple bars, volleyball nets and
beach soccer fields, and it's also possible to walk or run on
the wide sidewalks. Constant winds make the lake an ideal place
for water sports: sailing, windsurfing, kitesurfing and jet
skiing. There is always a National or International Championship
on the schedule, as well as the staging of plays, exhibitions
and artistic shows.
Location and how to get there
Araruama Lake borders the city which carries its name and several
others along the Costa do Sol (Sun Coast) in the Region of the
Lakes: São Pedro da Aldeia, Iguaba Grande, Cabo Frio
and Saquarema. Access to these locations is by way of the Rio-Niterói
bridge and two highways: RJ-124 (Rodovia Amaral Peixoto) or
Via Lagos, (extension of BR-101).
