Forte São Matheus

A 17th-century landmark beside Praia do Forte and the entrance to the Itajuru Channel.

Forte São Matheus is part of Cabo Frio's history. It stands at the end of Praia do Forte, near the entrance to the Itajuru Channel, where historic architecture meets the beach and sea.

Check current opening and access information from the site operator before planning an interior visit. Take care on the rocks and near the sea around the fort.
