Lonely Planet review for Forte São Mateus
East of town Cabo Frio, along a scenic road, is the Praia do Forte with bleached white sand and a backdrop of low scrub, cacti and grasses. At the northern end of Praia do Forte is a stone fortress, Forte São Mateus, which was built in 1616 and served as a stronghold against pirates.
