Arraial do Cabo (Portuguese pronunciation: [ɐʁɐjˈaw du ˈkabu]) is a municipality located in the Brazilian state of Rio de Janeiro.

In 1960 a documentary film was made directed by Mário Carneiro and Paulo Cesar Saraceni about the local fishing industry.

[4] Its geography made Arraial do Cabo an important and dangerous point in the age of sail.

Due to this fact (and other biological factors) Arraial do Cabo is well known as the "Dive Capital".
