About this site
Ponta do Meio sits along Cabo Frio Island, just off the coast at Cabo Frio in Rio de Janeiro state, an area known for its rocky shoreline and cooler upwelling waters. The site is reached by boat from the mainland town, which sits along a stretch of coast popular for its beaches and clear ocean water driven by seasonal upwelling currents.
