Why this trip
Florianópolis lies on an island, and the bridge that connects it to the mainland is already a destination in itself: the Ponte Hercílio Luz, built of steel, glows at night over the bay. After that begins an island whose beaches each have a character of their own. The dunes of Joaquina are suited to sandboarding, at the Mirante da Praia das Palmeiras you can enjoy the view along the coast, and small bays in the south can only be reached on foot. Between May and October it is winter here, a period with mild days, clear air and almost empty beaches.
Couples hike on coastal paths, families explore the lagoon or cycle between villages. Between July and November southern right whales can be watched along the coast, and the water stays cool for walks along the shore. The accommodation Palace Praia Hotel stands as an example of a property with a sea view. The winter season calls for a little flexibility in what you wear in the evening, when the wind picks up.
How you divide the days between beach and city is best discussed with Island Escapes in a video call.
