• Praias da cidade do Rio de Janeiro: são praias localizadas na área urbana da cidade, algumas conhecidas internacionalmente, onde se destacam as praias de Ipanema, Leblon, Copacabana e Barra da Tijuca.
• Praias oceânicas de Niterói: com destaque para Itaipu e Itacoatiara.
• A chamada Costa do Sol ou Região dos Lagos Fluminenses, localizada ao norte do Rio de Janeiro e Niterói, se caracteriza por chover pouco, vegetação com a presença de cactos, áreas de dunas, lagoas de água salgada e praias de águas azuis cristalinas. Destacam-se nesta região as cidades turísticas de Búzios (Armação dos Búzios), Cabo Frio, Arraial do Cabo e Saquarema, com suas praias.
• Litoral Sul do Estado, a chamada Costa Verde, caracterizada por uma região montanhosa coberta de Mata Atlântica e águas verdes cristalinas, onde se destaca a Baía de Angra dos Reis, com seus diversos condomínios de casas para lazer ao longo do litoral, a Ilha Grande e outras ilhas (Gipóia, Cataguazes, etc). Merece destaque também a cidade turística-histórica de Parati, com suas ruas e casas do tempo colonial.
Neste último fim de semana fomos para a região de Angra dos Reis, onde nos hospedamos em uma casa localizada no condomínio Portogalo, que é um dos mais conhecidos por ser freqüentado por artistas, socialites e empresários.
É importante observar que para aproveitar bem esta região é fundamental que se tenha uma lancha à disposição, uma vez que as melhores praias estão situadas na Ilha Grande e em outras ilhas localizadas dentro da Baía de Angra dos Reis. Por sinal, a maioria das praias situadas nas ilhas só tem acesso basicamente através de barco. Ocorre o mesmo com alguns dos melhores restaurantes da região, como nos casos do Restaurante dos Reis Magos, com certeza o mais caro, e do Restaurante Coqueiro Verde, ambos localizados no Saco do Céu (Ilha Grande).
Quem não puder contar com uma lancha de amigo ou parente, existem opções para minimizar esta dificuldade. Pode se utilizar de empresas de turismo que fazem passeios em escunas ou barcos maiores ou alugar barcos por hora ou dia. Outra opção é se divertir com as praias e as atrações oferecidas pelo local onde está hospedado, como no caso do Clube Med, Hotel Porto Belo, Hotel Portogalo, etc.

No sábado, após o passeio de lancha, com paradas para banhos de mar, fomos almoçar no Restaurante Coqueiro Verde, onde fomos atendidos pelo simpático casal Márcia e Damásio, proprietários do lugar. Comemos uma Moqueca de Camarão deliciosa, com seus acompanhamentos tradicionais de arroz, farofa de dendê e pirão de peixe. Esta moqueca dá para umas 4 pessoas comerem. Recomendamos.
Chegada no Coqueiro Verde.
Outro restaurante cujo acesso é só por mar, é o restaurante do Cláudio na praia da Sororoca. Este restaurante fica localizado numa enseada ao lado de Portogalo, sendo bastante interessante e informal, já que as mesas são colocadas ao ar livre na própria praia ou em área próxima debaixo das árvores. Recomendamos os risotos de qualquer tipo de frutos do mar, como de camarão ou de polvo, que têm inclusive preços convidativos, considerando que dão para umas 6 pessoas comerem.
English version: Angra dos Reis
The coastline of the State of Rio de Janeiro (Brazil) is beautiful and varied, where are located many famous beaches and tourist cities. This coastline can be divided as follows:
• Beaches of the city of Rio de Janeiro: are beaches located in built-up areas of the city, some known internationally, with relief for the beaches of Ipanema, Leblon, Copacabana and Barra da Tijuca.
• Oceanic Beaches of Niterói: with relief from Itaipu and Itacoatiara beachs.
• The so-called Coast of Sun orRegion fo Fluminenses Lakes, located on north of the cities of Rio de Janeiro and Niterói, being characterised by litle amount of rain during the year, vegetation with the presence of cactus, areas of dunes, saltwater lagoons and beaches of crystalline blue waters. Relief in this region the touristic cities of Búzios (Armação dos Búzios), Cabo Frio, Arraial do Cabo and Saquarema, with your beaches.
• South Coast of State, the so-called Green Cost, characterized by a mountainous region covered with Atlantic Rain Forest and crystalline green waters, where is located the Bay of Angra dos Reis, with its various condominiums of homes for leisure in coastline, the Ilha Grande (Big island) and other islands (Gipóia, Cataguazes, etc). Deserves relief also the touristic and historic city of Parati with its streets and houses of colonial times.
Last weekend we went to the region of Angra dos Reis, where we host in a house located in condominium Portogalo, which is one of the best-known because it is frequented by many artists, socialites and entrepreneurs.
It is important to note that to take advantage of this region is essential to have a boat, since the best beaches are located on the Ilha Grande (Big Island) and other islands located inside the Bay of Angra dos Reis. By the way, most of the beaches located on islands only have access basically by boat. The same occurs with some of the best restaurants of the region, as in the cases of Restaurant of Reis Magos, the more expensive, and Coqueiro Verde Restaurant (Green Coconut Tree Restaurant) both located in Saco do Céu (Ilha Grande).
Who cannot rely on a boat of family or friend, there are options to minimize this difficulty. You can use the services of tourist businesses that make touristic trips in larger boats or rent boats per hour or day. Another option is to have fun with the beaches and the attractions offered by where you are hosted, as in the case of Club Med, Porto Belo Hotel, etc.
On Saturday, after the boat trip with stops for sea baths, we went to lunch at Coqueiro Verde Restaurant, where we were met by the charming couple Márcia and Damásio, owners of the place. We eat a delicious Moqueca of Shrimp (Shrimp Stew Brazil-Style), with its traditional side dishes: rice, palm oil farofa and fish pirão. This moqueca is made for 4 servings. We recommend.
Another restaurant whose access is only by sea, is the restaurant of Claudio at Sororoca beach. This restaurant is located in a cove beside Portogalo, being quite interesting and informal, since the tables are placed outdoors on the beach or in the area next under the trees. We recommend the risotos of any kind of seafood, such as shrimp or octopus. This risotos are made for 6 servings.
