Florianopolis was dubbed by Brazilian weekly Veja as "the best place to live in Brazil", so it’s only natural that tourists would want to check it out, too. And do they ever. Florianopolis is a thriving destination for its perfect beaches, excellent surfing, amazing seafood, and juxtaposition of a modern megacity with 16th-century colonial fortresses and relaxed markets and parks.

Well, we really went to this for a restaurant, but once we got there we really enjoyed the village atmosphere, all the water, marina, private boats, all the variety of handicrafts stores — we even bought a few items of souvenirs made of shells; it’s amazing to see a whole skirt made of oysters shells; necklace, bracelet, children toys, etc. really charming also is the tiny yellow chapel uphill. If am back to Florianopolis, I’ll return here. But attention: you will need a car to drive here.

Boat ride in the lake to reach great restaurant. Please see my review on Cabral restaurant. You can get the boat ride in the pier in Rio Vermelho park in the lake boat terminal.

This was an excellent stop to reinforce the history of this amazing island. The Portuguese built the fort on the northern end of Santa Catarina Island in the 1740s. It’s well maintained and absolutely worth visiting for the views! It’s a national landmark and there’s an entry fee (unless your over 60).
