Costa do Sol, sports and partying year round

The name is suggestive of and faithfully reflects one of the main characteristics that make this region so pleasant and unique. Its dazzling sun, in alliance with strong, constant winds allows one to enjoy its attractions practically the whole year round, including the practice of aquatic sports: sailing, surfing, windsurfing and many others.

You can also choose between getting your exercise in the ocean or in Araruama, Maricá, Saquarema and Juturnaíba lakes. These places make Costa do Sol (The Sun Coast) also well known as the Região dos Lagos (The Lakes Region) and compose breathtaking views at both sunrise and sunset.

The cities of Armação de Búzios and Cabo Frio, the main tourist hot spots, offer a large number of beaches, able to satisfy the widest variety of interests: with calm waters or open ocean waves, practically deserted, or populated by beach bars, bars and restaurants.

The nightlife in these cities is recognized as one of the hottest in all of Rio de Janeiro. International quality restaurants, clubs and bars full of lively, beautiful people are their trademark. Rua das Pedras and Praça Santos Dumont, in Búzios and Rua dos Biquínis, the Canal and Praia do Forte, in Cabo Frio are attractions in themselves, with their countless shops, boutiques and traditional crafts fairs
