About Florianópolis
Florianópolis is a city in southern Brazil, in the state of Santa Catarina, spread across an island and a strip of the mainland, with beaches around most of its coast. Its best-known surf beach is Praia da Joaquina, on the eastern side of the island, where waves break over sand and are often described as strong and well shaped. Tall sand dunes rise behind the beach and are widely used for sandboarding. Contests have been held at Joaquina for decades. Swell reaches this coast through much of the year, and the most consistent conditions usually arrive in the southern autumn and winter, typically from around April to September. The water is generally cool, and other beaches around the island, among them Praia Mole and Campeche, are also widely surfed.
