Peró

Peró Beach is 7.2 km long in Cabo Frio, Rio de Janeiro, one of the city's main beaches, attracting surfers with its great waves and families with calmer stretches of water that are perfect for kids. The bottom is sand and the beach is appreciated for its beach break with barrels and a fast, powerful wave, with two main points: the right corner that borders Praia das Conchas, and the well-known middle of Peró, in the center of the sand strip.

The best condition is usually a southwest wind blowing offshore, with the right corner working well in bigger swells and the middle of the beach being the right choice on smaller days. Internationally recognized, the beach earned the Blue Flag seal in 2018, renewed in the following years, which certifies the quality of the sand, water, accessibility and safety. It's worth choosing the stretch according to the day's swell size, since the two points respond differently to sea conditions.
