The North region of the state of Rio de Janeiro, while not the northernmost part of the state, is nevertheless called "northern" due to the tendency for coastal Brazilians to refer to north as "along the coast towards the northern end of the continent". São João da Barra is situated 4½ km southwest of Paraíba do Sul.
