This beach is an absolute gem, perfect for both visiting and living. During the summer months, the atmosphere is electric and full of life, with a palpable buzz that will leave you energized and invigorated. However, if you're looking for a more serene experience, the winter months offer a tranquil and peaceful retreat. And if you find yourself in need of a change of scenery, the nearby beaches of Torres (RS) and Sombrio (SC) are just a few minutes away. As the largest beach in Santa Catarina, this destination truly has it all.

A place where sand meets the sea, where sun-kissed bodies lounge about and the sound of waves lull you into a state of relaxation. It's a stunning location, no doubt about it. But let's be real, calling it just "beautiful" is like calling a Ferrari "nice." It's a gross understatement. This little slice of paradise is a feast for the senses. The salty air, the warm sun on your skin, the sound of seagulls overhead, and the sight of crystal-clear water stretching out before you. It's a place where you can forget about all your worries and just be in the moment. And let's not forget about the people-watching. From families building sandcastles to couples strolling hand-in-hand, there's always something to observe. And if you're feeling adventurous, there are plenty of water sports to try out. Surfing, paddle-boarding, kayaking - take your pick
