This beach in Floranapolis has become my absolute favorite! The water is crystal clear and the waves are just right for a refreshing dip. It's amazing how you can still feel relaxed while enjoying the waves. There are a few kiosks on the beach, and we had the pleasure of trying Andres' mouth-watering camarao empanada and fresh mango juice. It was absolutely delicious! I highly recommend visiting this beach, especially during the week when it's slightly less crowded.

This charming beach is a true gem. The water is pleasantly warm and the waves, while slightly high during my visit, only added to the beach's natural allure. I highly recommend spending some time here to fully appreciate its beauty.

What a delightful stretch of sand! Whether you prefer to park your tush on the beach or take in the view from higher ground, this spot has got you covered. And if you're feeling peckish, fear not - there are some quaint little eateries perched atop the nearby hill. What a treat!
