Brazil Beach PartyFlorianopolis beaches

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).

Beautiful Brazilian GirlWhile 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.
