Beaches
in Florianopolis, Brazil are some of the most breathtaking
anywhere in the world. There are forty-two Florianopolis
beaches, to be exact,
with one more beautiful than the next and all of them
here waiting for you to enjoy. See our Florianopolis
map for additional information on some of
the most popular beaches in Floripa.
Florianopolis beaches offer everything
from secluded and paradise-like getaways that make
the Caribbean pale in comparison to nature preserves
with long stretches of untouched and undeveloped coastline,
upscale beaches with ritzy beachfront estates to rival
Ocean Drive in Miami and fun filled beaches packed
with young and beautiful people (including the likes
of our very own Nexus
Divas).
 While
the waters at the Floripa beaches on the west side of the island are calm
and protected and thus great for families and swimming,
the entire east coast of the island is blessed with
a constant flow of powerful Atlantic Ocean swells,
making for some of the most amazing and consistent
year round surfing you will find anywhere. Due
to Floripa's unique topography and gradually evolving degree of
exposure to the ocean there are likely incredible
waves somewhere in Florianopolis at virtually any given
time, the location varying based on swell direction
and wind conditions.
