What to see in Florianópolis

1. Praia Mole
   Praia Mole is a beach of pale, fine sand facing the Atlantic and framed by green hills.
2. Lagoa da Conceição
   This lagoon stretches between green hills and the dunes that separate it from the Atlantic, giving the east of the island a rhythm of its own, somewhere between neighborhood life, wind sports and evenings by the water.
3. Praia da Joaquina (surf)
   Joaquina is one of the best-known surf beaches in Florianópolis, with steady swell and a backdrop of big dunes that separate it from the lagoon.
4. Praia do Campeche
   A long stretch of pale sand facing an island that stands out clearly on the horizon, with a more relaxed seaside-neighbourhood feel than the north of the island.
5. Centre historique & Mercado Público
   This old covered market in the heart of the historic center is still a living place, where locals come to eat lunch, have a drink and talk.
6. Praia dos Ingleses
   This is a long beach facing the Atlantic in the north of the island, backed by a proper seaside village with shops and places to eat.
7. Lagoinha do Leste (randonnée)
   You can only get here on foot, and that effort gives the beach a calm that is rare on the island: a long strip of sand facing the open ocean, backed by hills of Atlantic forest.
8. Dunes de Joaquina (sandboard)
   These pale sand dunes sit between Lagoa da Conceição and the open ocean, so you slide down on a board with both landscapes in front of you.
