There are plenty of
hotels
and
pousadas
in and around Cabo Frio, though during summer weekends it can be impossible to find a room. The
tourist office
(Mon-Fri 8am-6pm, Sat & Sun 9am-2pm - but in summer also to 6pm; tel 024/647-1684) at PraA§a CristA?vA?o Colombo near to the Praia do Forte can help find you a room. The lowest- priced
pousadas
are in the town centre on Rua Jorge LA?ssio and Rua JosAİ BonifA?cio; the best ones include
Porto Fino
on the former at no. 160 (tel 024/643-6230; $35-50), and
Cochicho do Xandico
at no. 224 (tel 024/643-2525; $35-50), and on the latter,
AtlA?ntico
at no. 302 (tel 024/643-0996; $20-35). Most hotels and
pousadas,
however, are concentrated along the beaches. Praia do PerA? boasts Cabo Frio's most expensive hotel, the very comfortable
La Plage
(tel 024/643-5690; $70-90). On the same beach is the more attractive
Quintais das Dunas
(tel 024/643-3894; $50-70), which also has a pool. The
Praia do PerA?
(tel 024/643-2182; $35-50) is more basic. Closer to town, there are plenty of places on Praia do Forte at lower rates, including
Porto Fino II
(tel 024/643-3291; $35-50). Cheaper,
youth hostel-
type accommodation is available 1km from the bus station at the
Praia das Palmeiras,
Rua das Palmeiras 1 (tel 024/643-2866; $8 per person).
Cabo Frio has no shortage of
restaurants
both in the town centre and on the beaches. In the centre, the
Picolino
at Rua Marechal Floriano 319 is noted for serving the town's best fish dishes, while at Praia do Forte,
La Carreta,
Av. Nilo PeA§anha 443, is an excellent
churrascaria. Other useful information
