About this site
Cabo Frio sits on the coast of Rio de Janeiro state, a region known for cold water upwellings that bring nutrient-rich currents to its rocky points and islands. N. Teixeirinha would be reached by boat from the town's dive operators, who work the granite reefs and islets scattered along this stretch of coastline.
