The island offers beaches for all people – some for a private feel, some perfect for long walks, others for surf, parties and fun, but all filled with welcoming locals.

The beaches are great for families and surfers are also attracted to this area due to the large waves. The beach is located south of the island, protected by the dunes, with little human interaction.

Praia dos Ingleses Praia dos Ingleses is a beach with warm, blue waters, and the greatest sand dunes on the island. Sand boarders flock to this beach and practice their craft. Water surfers also frequent this beach, but remain on the far left where the waves are strongest. The name of the beach comes from a curious event: an English ship that ran aground, but the culture of the island is certainly not wrecked.

  1. I’ve wondered whether this part of Brazil would be good for a fishing trip for maybe two-days of a week’s holiday? Could you advise?

  2. Hello Hugh!

    This is definitely a great place for fishing but 2 days is not enough time especially because you never can depend on the weather. Imagine a day with lots of wind, waves, storms and things like that. Also, if you don’t schedule your excursions ahead of time, by the time you get to Florianopolis, and find a company or a fisherman to go fishing with you, you will loose time. There are lots of places you can fish in Florianopolis, including options for deep ocean fishing. In my opinion, make sure you separate a week for a trip like that.
    If you ned any help , please message us again and it will be my pleasure to help.

  3. Hi Luiz! Thank you for the tips about beaches in Florianópolis. Praia do Campeche does look great due to the several things to do and its facilities. It must be a nice option to stay if I’m looking for also enjoying the city at night, is it?
    Taking a bus trip to Florianópolis seems to be one of the best options to get there. Have you traveled by bus around? Do you think it is a great?
