Costa do Sol

surf beaches and saltwater lagoons

To the east of Niterói lies a series of saltwater lagoons, the Lagos Fluminenses. Two small lakes lie behind the beaches of Piratininga, Itaipu and Itacoatiara, but they are polluted and ringed by mud. The next lakes, Maricá and Saquarema, are much larger; although they are still muddy, the waters are relatively unpolluted and wildlife abounds in the scrub and bush around the lagoons. This is a prime example of the restinga (coastal swamp and forest) environment. The RJ-106 road runs behind the lakes en route to Cabo Frio and Búzios, but an unmade road goes along the coast between Itacoatiara and Cabo Frio, giving access to the many long, open beaches of Brazil’s Costa do Sol. The whole area is perfect for camping.
