Cabo Frio

Cabo Frio (Portuguese pronunciation: [ˈkabu ˈfɾi.u], Cold Cape) is a tourist destination located in the state of Rio de Janeiro.

The Brazilian coast runs east from Rio de Janeiro to Cabo Frio where it turns sharply north. North of Cabo Frio is Cabo de São Tomé.

It was named after the geography of its location, a cape, and because the water temperature is colder than in nearby cities (frio is Portuguese for "cold"). This city features beaches with white fine sand. Due to a lack of mica, the sand stays cool in the sun.

As of 2025, Cabo Frio's estimated population is 238,438 and its area is 410 km2.

According to the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics, in 2010, Cabo Frio had 90,831 men (48.7%) and 95,396 women (51.3%). The municipality has demonstrated rapid demographic growth over the decades.

According to the IBGE, the municipality is made up of 88,701 whites, 72,561 mixed race, 23,555 blacks, 1,109 Asians, and 301 indigenous people.

According to the IBGE, the municipality is made up of 78,061 evangelicals, 64,006 Catholics, 32,894 non-religious people (including atheists and agnostics), 6,539 spiritualists, and 6,413 people who profess other religions, such as Judaism, Buddhism, Islam, esotericism, and neopaganism.

Cabo Frio is served by Cabo Frio International Airport.
