10 Things to do in Florianopolis That You Shouldn't Miss

November 19, 2021 Phylicia Berquist

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.

The trail to the beach is a little bit tiring. But it worths all the efforts. It's an amazing view and a beautiful beach. It's advisable to take food and drink with you.

Jurere Beach

Boundless tranquility, the softest sand and warm waters. The local restaurants are charming and the people are helpful. A must see destination where I felt completely safe 24/7 traveling alone as a female.

Reviewed By db7477 - Carlsbad, United States

This is a beautiful, calm, rustic beach near Jurere. We drove there from (nearby) Forte Sao Jose da Ponte Grossa. We walked to the point to look back at Florianópolis and the Forte San Antonio da Ratones on the nearby island.

Canasvieiras Beach

Reviewed By BrazilWiz - Sao Paulo, Brazil

This beach is really amazing as it is away from the busy town yet it has all sorts of restaurants, shops and supermarkets. For those who are planning to enjoy Floripa, I would say this is the beach. From here you can explore other beaches but you know at the end that you will sleep in a quiet friendly area and that you will enjoy a calm beach in the early morning. It is worth it to rent a bike and go for other beaches from here. We pedaled to the near Ponta das Canas beach which is another underestimated beach. From here you can encounter a lot of other activities like Pirates of the Caribbeans Boat where they take you to some attractions around the Island with many entertainment on the way.
