Dunas do Peró
White sand dunes within Costa do Sol State Park on the northern coast of Cabo Frio, right next to Peró Beach, a Blue Flag beach. Good for hiking, photos and watching the sunset.
The Dunas do Peró lie on the coast between Cabo Frio and Búzios, within the Costa do Sol State Park. Rolling white dunes stretch down to the sea, backed by Praia do Peró, one of the first beaches in Brazil to earn Blue Flag certification. The beach runs for about 6 km, with big waves and few crowds. Visitors can follow trails up the dunes for photos and sunset views, but driving vehicles onto the sand is prohibited. Facilities are limited, and the sand can be scorching in summer, so wear shoes and bring plenty of water. The dunes are about 20 km from Búzios.
