  1. 4.5 Jurere Beach (9.658 reviews)
    - Top Beach!
    Monday: 8:30 AM - 6:00 PM Beaches
    Jurere Beach image
    Glamorous & Beautiful, Jurerê Beach is very high end and you'll find a lot of rich & famous people spending the Summer there. Restaurants and bars are really good, pricy as well, but worth it if you have enough money to spend. I consider it a "must" on the island. See more..
  2. 4.5 Joaquina Beach (7.030 reviews)
    - Great beach
    Beaches
    Joaquina Beach image
    Joaquina is a great beach. It has a selection of bars and restaurants on the beach front. It has a car park and bus stop, with it being an affordable cab or uber from nearby towns and accommodation. It has good surf and you can rent surfboards at the beach. It also has the normal Brazilian beach facilities of umbrella and chair rental. Nearby are large sand dunes where you can explore or go sand boarding. A downside is it will take a while to get to from the city centre. See more..

    Beaches
    Praia das Laranjeiras image

  4. 4.5 Bombinhas Beach (4.766 reviews)
    - Beautiful beach
    Monday: 12:00 AM - 11:59 PM Spent More than 3 hours Beaches
    Bombinhas Beach image
    We enjoyed exploring Bombas and Bombinhas Beaches. My only regret was that I forgot to bring sunscreen. The two beaches are connected by a boardwalk. We parked at the end of Bombinhas and walked both. The beaches were bustling with families enjoying the fun and sun. It was a great way to spend the day! See more..
  5. 4.5 Praia Mole (4.259 reviews)
    - Lovelu
    Beaches
    Praia Mole image
    Absolutely loved this beach! We stayed towards the mid to South of the beach away from the hustle and bustle of the Middle of the beach. This area was still happening and had a great vibe yet we had plenty of room and had the attention of the beach bar service men the whole time. Beautiful beach with great mid size waves for a surf. Worth spending a few days there! See more..
  6. 4.5 Barra da Lagoa Beach (3.506 reviews)
    - Charming place
    Spent 2-3 hours Beaches
    Barra da Lagoa Beach image
    This is one of the most picturesque place on the island. First, there is a lovely beach where surf beginners can practice. Then, this is a charming Portuguese fishing village. The village and the harbor are located on the river that links the backcountry lagoons to the ocean. There are many cormorants waiting for fish. The fishermen are the descendants of Portuguese emigrants from the Azores. The village is also a wildlife center for marine turtles and there is natural park on the shores of the lagoon (Lagoa do Conciçao). See more..
  7. 4.5 Praia do Rosa (3.329 reviews)
    - It is a 2 hours drive from Florianópolis, but it´s worth visiting
    Monday: 12:00 AM - 11:59 PM Beaches
    Praia do Rosa image
    This is a beach located in the city of Garopaba near Florianópolis. The road you must take to get to Praia do Rosa is BR 101, wich has a lot of traffic specially near the New Year' s hollydays. If you like surfing and wild places you will love Praia do Rosa. See more..

    Spent More than 3 hours Beaches

  9. 4.0 Central Beach (2.953 reviews)
    - Long and sandy beach with lots of amenities
    Beaches
    Central Beach image
    Having visited Balneário Camboriú many times over the last 15 years we have enjoyed many a happy holiday here. The town benefits from a very long and sandy beach with calm waters and a wealth of bars and restaurants along its length on Av. Atlantica with shops and other amenities a short walk away on Av. Brasil which runs parallel to the beach. The beach can become very busy over the summer months especially during the weekends and around carnival. The southern end of the beach is generally quieter than the central area in front of Ilha das Cabras. At the southern end of the beach you can take the cable car up to Parque Unipraias Camboriu whilst at the northern end of the beach there are walkways leading to the lovely beaches Prainha and Praia do Buraco. Next to the entrance to the cable car is a great children’s playground and a stone walkway which takes you out into the bay. See more..

  11. 4.5 Lagoinha do Leste (2.595 reviews)
    - Beautiful Beach and Viewpoint
    Beaches
    Lagoinha do Leste image
    I loved this beach. You hike around 2 hours to reach the beach and then you can climb to the view point which is another 45 minutes. On the beach you can find small bars but no food. There is a lagoon as well that is a must see and it is on the left side of the beach. I went for the day but you can also camp and go for a night. See more..
  12. 4.5 Daniela's Beach (2.588 reviews)
    - Perfect beach to go with children
    Monday: 9:00 AM - 12:00 PM, 2:00 PM - 6:00 PM Beaches
    Daniela's Beach image
    Perfect beach for children. The water is calm and warm. There are trees and so you have shade. The beach and water is clean because of the many litter bins. There is only one restaurant and so the beach is clean of restaurant litter and beer cans. Next time we are in Florianopolis we will go here again, it can be busy in the high season and weekends. But then again that goes for all of Florianopolis See more..

  16. 4.0 Sepultura Beach (1.924 reviews)
    - it is a beautiful place for visiting
    Monday: 12:00 AM - 11:59 PM Beaches
    Sepultura Beach image
    I visited this place in March of this year. If you enjoy the adventure sepultura beach is your place. It is separated by a hill. On the First beach there are a bar and a place for renting snorkel, this is place to spend time with kids or old people. On the finish of the beach we can find a steep passage whose way takes you towards other beach, there are a beautiful landscape and differents types of fishes in the sea. in my opinion you will need a pair of aquatic sneakers because when you are in the steep passage there are moss and sharp rocks and maybe you can hurt your feet. So in my opinion second beach isnt a place for visiting with kids or old people. And i am share you a secret if you have lucky, you will see a sea turtles. I think that this place must be in "The 15 places in the world that you must visit at least once in your life" See more..

    Beaches
    Praia do Campeche image
    Really nice beach, beautiful water. Waves are big so I do not recommend trying to swim. It was crowded near the restaurants but we went further down the beach where it was a lot less crowded for the same view as seen in the picture. See more..
  19. 4.5 Guarda do Embau Beach (1.779 reviews)
    - Pristine, beautiful.
    Beaches
    Guarda do Embau Beach image
    To visit that area, you need to make a special trip for it. This is a day trip. You have a small village sleepy of sea on, too crowded at summer time lying down the lagoa. This is the single access to the beaches. Except if you are a good swimmer and you do not carry with you anything that needs to be waterproof, the only access to the beaches is by hiring on the spot small boats to cross the laguna waters. See more..
  20. 4.5 Forte Beach (1.611 reviews)
    - Great beach with few people
    Beaches
    Forte Beach image
    This is one of the least visited beaches on the island of Santa Catarina, Brazil. For this reason, it is a great place to go. All the other beaches (all 41 of them) are also great, especially those in the East and South, but this one is special. There are a couple of bars where you can buy fish and drink caipirinhas (or beer), but the main attraction is the beach and the water, which is generally calm (not a surfing beach) and warm. Fishing boats come in occasionally and you can buy fish from them, but it´s not a big fishing beach like Pantano do Sul (another of our favorites). There is also a fort, of course (hence the name, "Praia do Forte"), but it´s not very interesting. It´s best to go out of season to avoid the large numbers of non-islanders that descend on Florianopolis every January and February. See more..

  25. 4.5 Meia-Praia Beach (1.159 reviews)
    - Wonderful beach for exercising and lounging
    Monday: 12:00 AM - 11:59 PM Beaches
    Meia-Praia Beach image
    We stayed in Itapema with family but this is definitely a popular place to be during high season (December - February). Make sure you go to the beach early in the morning and go home before the sun gets too high or you are for sure going to burn and make the rest of your trip unbearable! There is a 3 mile paved walking/running and biking path along the beach that is great for morning exercise. Get a fresh coconut from one of the vendors passing by or bars by the beach, get under an umbrella, and relax. See more..

    - Beautiful beach in the southern end of Florianópolis
    Beaches
    Naufragados Beach image
    Praia de Naufragados is one of the beauties of Florianópolis and is located in the southern end of the Santa Catarina Island. It can be reached only on foot or by boat. I went there early in the morning on foot through the trail and it took me one hour to get there. Besides the cliffs and woods, the landscape is worthwhile. I visited the lighthouse and enjoyed the beach a lot. It was possible to see the remains of one of the forts that protected the Island against invasor some centuries ago. I had lunch in one of the restaurants and rested under a beautiful tree in front of it. After this, I swam in a small river near there. I came back in the evening through the same trail. Happiness and gratefulness I was feeling in the end of the day for what the nature offered me. See more..

    Cabecudas Beach image
    For people who prefer a less high buildings contamination next to the beaches, this is a good option. It is a smaller beach than Balneário Camboriu’s and the still few buildings in town are lower than 4-5 stories (by law). The beach is nice, and the atmosphere looks more relaxing than in its larger neighboring city. See more..

    Beaches
    Silveira Beach image
    Approx. 90km south of Florianopolis, Santa Catarina, there's a great and still unspoiled beach. Mostly surfers and cool gauchos (people from Rio Grande do Sul). I usually stay @ Morada Prainha, up on the hill, greast beach view, individual cabans with kitchen, grill for barbecue and hammock. The owner, Marcia is ultra friendly and a dog lover. Perfect cost/benefit. In the evening, dinner at the Mormai restaurant in Garopaba, with lounge music and great fish. For breakfast, just off the hill of Silveira in front of Mormai there's a tiny hut with great juices, cereals, natural sandwiches and those protein stuff that healthy people love. Be prepared to see some of the best bodies in Brazil. Make sure to buy a Brazilian bikini (girls) or sunga (guys). See more..
