International Friendship Bridge

Mentioned on 
19 lists 
Bridge
Sights & Landmarks
The International Friendship Bridge is a 1,812-ft.-long arch bridge with a pedestrian path that connects the cities of Foz do Iguacu in Brazil and Ciudad del Este in Paraguay. It symbolizes the union between the two countries and was constructed during the 1950s and 1960s over the Parana River. The bridge links Ciudad del Este to Foz do Iguazu and also shares a border with Puerto Iguazu in Argentina.
So fun to walk from one country to the next, not a far distance and wow! What an experience! I wouldn’t recommend going at night and not for inexperienced travelers.
Dana S — Google review
Walked to Paraguay from Brazil. If you're actually going to stay in Paraguay (and not merely shop there for a day), then be sure to get an exit stamp in your passport from the Brazil side of the bridge (Paraguay immigration will make you go back to Brazil if you don't have the exit stamp). Good views of the border river (Parana) from the bridge!
David G — Google review
I love the sunset and the show in the international friendship bridge 😁 The architecture is marvelous as well. It was a pleasant experience.
Agatha H — Google review
The bridge itself is nice but vehicular traffic was very bad going to Ciudad del Este. We crossed in a bus around 10AM on Thursday. Returning to Brazil by bus, the traffic was better.
Rick R — Google review
It got me to Paraguay and back. Use the right side of the bridge each way walking over. Locals don’t need to stop at immigration on either side but if you’re not local stop and get your Brazil exit stamp and Paraguay entry stamp, and the opposite in return. Brazil immigration was a little hard to find one booth serves both sides, Paraguay has a building on each side.
Collin — Google review
Most disgusting border crossing I’ve ever seen. Dirty, noisy, stinking and smelly. DISGUSTING !
JC C — Google review
I took an Uber to the bridge which cost me £3. I walked across the bridge with no problem. I’m a single middle-aged female on my own and no one troubled me. I did a little shopping and I came back again. I didn’t even make a stop at immigration nobody seemed interested. No problem. I got a cold beer near the bridge and I ordered an Uber back to my hotel, which cost me £2. I was advised to use the buses I didn’t get on with that because I couldn’t figure out which bus or how to pay
Maria B — Google review
The view from the bridge is very nice. But the bridge is in a very rough shape. It’s super dirty and it looks like it’s not being maintained at all.

Parque Histórico de Carambeí

History museum
Sights & Landmarks
Reconstructed colonial village & farm with exhibits on early 20th-century Dutch settlers in Brazil.
Wow! This place is really beautiful and quiet, The restaurant is in front, meaning you can eat in the restaurant without entering the 'Park' you only have to pay the entrance fee when you enter the park. The restaurant really have a good food, and the space in the parking lot is big. Would love the go back! Carambeí is such a charming place overall.

A piece of the Netherlands in rural Brazil. Lovely place, quite well preserved and a great trip to be on the outdoors. I only missed being too short to visit all (less than 2h attraction) and the info should be presented in english and dutch besides the one already in portuguese

Marvelous place with lots of small attractions and houses that show how the settlers lived. There is also a small museum, restaurant and gift shop with nice trinkets. There is also an awesome pie shop in the vicinity that is totally worth visiting.

Parque Vila Velha

Mentioned on 
1 list 
Ecological park
Nature & Parks
Parque Vila Velha is an expansive forest park featuring impressive sandstone cliffs, vertical caves, and a network of cycling and hiking trails. Visitors can take a half-hourly bus to reach the starting point for the sandstone columns, where a walking path of just over 1 km offers stunning views. The park also provides buses to different areas, but some visitors feel limited by the organized transportation. Despite this, it's considered a beautiful natural site with geological and archaeological significance.
Vila Velha is a natural treasure that is worth taking the time to see. The park is under new management and they have done an incredible job making it a destination. This is something you should plan at least half a day to do as there are different attractions spread out. We arrived late which was the only unfortunate part due to quick travel and were still charged full price admission which was a bummer as it wasn’t cheap. About R300 for 6 people to just go see the sandstones. The formations are like being in something like Jurassic park in real like. Definitely recommend visiting! The attendants in the park were super kind and the bus service in the park was excellent especially since we were with my aunt who is a heart patient and cannot walk too long.
Ana M — Google review
We visited this park yesterday on a family trip with my sister and her husband. The park is a national reserve of natural beauty and has plenty of wild life (puma, wolf, armadillo, etc), including many other venous species. The park is well looked after and the paths are clear so that venous species are spotted from distance, such as snakes Jararaca snake, Cascavel snake, Scorpions and many other species. The site was formed over 340 million years ago whilst the continents were still one well before the dinosaurs age. The views are spectacular and incredibly beautiful and the facilities are well organised, clean and safe. There is a restaurant onsite and food bars spread over the sites where there are sightseeing activities and physical activities. The toilets are clean and equipped. The bus transfers between sites were always on time and well organised, although the bus felt a bit old. The site guides were knowledgeable, friendly and welcoming. We had a fantastic time. The only upsetting experience was that we bought tickets to do the Arvorismo (tree climbing) and Tirolesa (cable sliding) and because of the morning rain, both activities were cancelled for the whole day but the ticket office was not informed and charged our tickets and of many other visitors. We received a refund at the end of the visit but the refund experience was incredibly difficult and took over 20 minutes to be processed for the 3 of us alone. The refund admin process seemed disorganised, slow and complex. For a moment I thought we wouldn't receive our refund. We had such a great experience during the visit but the check out process of refund has let us down slightly, hence why I removed a star from this review. The car park has a fee of R$28 which is also not very visible in the car park and we only found out because we went to ask for the refund. Overall a great place to visit for families and solo visits. Would certainly recommend or come back.
Viv B — Google review
Place is nice to visit and spend time. One must stick to the routes, not allowed to explore it. Overpriced, considering the distance from the city. The employees could not give proper information when asked about some plants and the place. Formation. You must rely on their code reader to access information. Also, they don't speak foreign languages, other than some basic English.
Josmar P — Google review
The distance from Curitiba is not worth it in my opinion. The entry tickets are expensive. Parking is expensive. You have to buy water, no filters to fill your water bottle. The formations and hike are really cool. The cave is a view from the top which is nice but nothing to write home about. I think they're constructing a way to have closer access to it. It's a relaxed & interesting day out if you have nothing better to do.
Mbalenhle N — Google review
Really cool place with a lot of history. A bit expensive for the locals for the entrance fee specifically if you hqve a big family and the parking fees are high as well. The park is beautiful though lot's of history here and nice walk ways to hike or bike. Big tip if you ever come make sure you get here early this way you can do the long hikes or bike the whole park.

The park features sports courts, lakeside trails for hiking and biking, a skating rink, and BBQ grills.

Capybaras are abundant and incredibly cute, adding to the charm of the experience. The sunset view is absolutely stunning. I can’t wait to return. If you're considering it, don’t hesitate—it's definitely worth the visit!
Ayoub D — Google review
My favorite park. I didn't know I liked capybaras until I saw so many here! They're very cute. Also relaxing swans, hawks, vultures, and other birds who aren't so scared of humans so they let you come real close to take photos (but not too close!). So calm
Maddi P — Google review
Parque Barigui has quickly become my favorite park here. It’s perfect for both morning and evening runs, and it’s also a great place to ride a bike. The nature is clean, well-kept, and really beautiful. There’s even an amusement area, which adds to the charm. And of course—the capybaras. I never realized how much I liked capybaras until I visited this amazing park. They make the whole place feel even more special.

Emelli R — Google review
Amazing Beautiful Park, lots of paved walkways for the elderly, designated bike and run paths, and workout equipment. Last but not least the real reason why anyone goes here, is to see Curitiba's mascot, the world famous Capivaras that tend to be everywhere around the lake and grassy areas. You have to pay $2 bucks for the bathroom, which is kind of crazy since it a city park, but thats what is, bathroom are far apart, so beware with your water intake.

Museu Oscar Niemeyer, also known as the "Eyes Museum," is a futuristic architectural marvel designed by renowned Brazilian architect Oscar Ribeiro de Almeida Niemeyer Soares Filho. Opened in 2002, it is the largest museum in Latin America and features 12 rooms showcasing contemporary art, design, and architecture. The building itself resembles a giant eye and is perched on a massive yellow pillar, creating an awe-inspiring sight for visitors.
Amazing museum dedicated to one of the most famous architects you will ever come across in Brazil. The museum is very well done and has sufficient reading material as well as displays. Some of the art is interactive and some of it is historical artifacts. There is a lot of modern art and some art from people from Curitiba. The parts of the museum that showcase Niemeyer’s accomplishments are particularly cool, especially if you’ve traveled around and seen some of his works.

(Translated by Google) Undoubtedly one of the most beautiful train rides in the world. Too bad Curitibans don't try to get to know the third most important tourist attraction in Brazil. (Original) Sem dúvidas um dos passeios de trem mais belos do mundo. Pena que os curitibanos não procurem conhecer o terceiro atrativo turístico do Brasil mais importante.

Zoo Pomerode

Mentioned on

Zoo
Zoos & Aquariums
Zoo Pomerode is a conservation-focused zoo that houses approximately 220 species of native and exotic mammals, birds, and reptiles. Visitors can purchase entrance tickets for an intimate experience with the well-cared-for animals. The zoo offers a diverse range of animals from South America and Brazil, providing a unique opportunity to see species not commonly found elsewhere. The lush surroundings and friendly staff contribute to a perfect zoo experience.
I would definitely go again! The place is clean, the animals are taken well cared; you can see that by the size of the places where they are kept and we were able to see the workers feeding, cleaning... I would suggest going later in the afternoon or early morning because of the hot weather.

We visited here in July 2023, it was fantastic. The animals looked happy and healthy. You get a very intimate experience and view of them all. I got to see a few animals from South America and Brazil that I hadn't seen before, or knew existed. There are lots of lovely trees around the zoo itself, the staff were exceptionally kind and friendly. A perfect zoo experience! I was also offered a teacher's discount (I am a school teacher in New Zealand), if I provided proof/ID, so educators - be sure to bring your ID with you!

Melina R — Google review
(Translated by Google) The river is very beautiful, the landscape and the photos it provides are sensational. The river is suitable for swimming, but I must admit that it was a bit of an unusual experience to see several people in bathing suits entering the river in the middle of the city center. But it is worth seeing. There are usually several stalls at the markets and umbrellas near the river. (Original) O rio é muito bonito, a paisagem e as fotos que proporciona são sensacionais. O rio é próprio para banho, mas confesso que foi uma experiência um pouco atípica ver várias pessoas de roupas de banho entrando no rio no meio do centro da cidade. Mas vale a pena conhecer. Geralmente tem várias barraquinhas nas feirinhas e guarda sol perto do rio.

Vila Germânica Park

Mentioned on 
22 lists 
Sights & Landmarks
Beer hall
Vila Germânica Park is a Bavarian-style village featuring half-timbered buildings housing shops and eateries, including the renowned Bier Vila. The park hosts the city's most traditional festival, Oktoberfest, offering a chance to savor regional cuisine and experience the largest concentration of German-style buildings, along with shops, restaurants, and breweries. Additionally, during Christmas in Blumenau, the park becomes part of a festive program with illuminated streets and outdoor Christmas displays.
"Oktoberfest Blumenau is an incredible celebration of culture and tradition! The atmosphere is vibrant, with lively music, fantastic parades, and authentic German food and beer. The attention to detail in the costumes and decorations really adds to the experience. It's well-organized, and despite the large crowds, everything runs smoothly. Whether you're there for the music, the beer, or just to soak up the energy, it’s a festival that should not be missed. Highly recommended for anyone looking to enjoy a taste of Germany in Brazil!"

Sara B — Google review
We went for Oktoberfest so was great to visit. Well set up and decorated. Like a little German village dull of shops as well as the large hall where the live bands and dancing was held. Extremely busy on the Saturday, hard to walk and waited in line for food, beer or toilet for at least 20 minutes. Friday was better as less people. You can purchase the ticket across the road for the Oktoberfest before entering. Full german costume gets you half price entry. Food was average.

Museum
Specialty Museums
The Beer Museum Blumenau, established in 1996 and currently undergoing renovations for a reopening in the second half of 2022, offers an immersive journey through the history of beer production in Santa Catarina. Visitors can explore antique brewing equipment and watch videos that showcase the evolution of beer-making processes over time. The museum's collection includes artifacts from major breweries such as Feldmann and Brahma, providing insight into the region's rich brewing heritage.
An amazing experience! Roberto walked me through the museum and I was amazed at the quality of the presentation, information presented, and the thoughtfulness behind each part of the museum. It is very well curated and offers a lot of information not only about the process of making beer but the history too. A must see if you are in Blumenau!

Who would have thought it a beer museum in Brazil? There is a limited amount to see inside but this is more than compensated for by the entertaining and highly knowledgeable guide. Who would have thought that a Brazilian knew about Thornbridge Brewery. Well worth the visit

This was a fantastic tour! The guide was able to offer it in English, which is rare in Brazil generally, making it a great option for international visitors. There was lots of interesting information throughout, and you even get to taste a few beers along the way. All in all, it was a really good experience, well worth the money. Highly recommend it!

(Translated by Google) I never imagined someone could make a crepe bad. Well, they did. Not to mention the terrible service. I went with my young daughter to buy a simple crepe. The place was empty, and it still took a while. There were two people making it, and the excuse was that "the machine was cold." Well, if it's a place that sells crepes, the ideal is to have the machine warm so the customer doesn't have to wait for a quick snack. I think because I asked if it would still take (as I said, my daughter is little and hungry), it seems they got angry and made her crepe bad. It was a cheese one, and it tasted strange, with a completely hard, brown crust (inedible). I tried to cut the crust so she could at least eat the filling. She took about three bites and said it was bad. And it was. A shame. (Original) Nunca imaginei que alguém conseguiria deixar um creps ruim. Pois é. Aqui conseguiram. Fora o atendimento péssimo. Fui com minha filha pequena comprar um simples creps. O lugar estava vazio e mesmo assim demorou. Estavam em 2 fazendo, e a desculpa foi que "a máquina estava fria". Oras, se é um lugar que vende creps, o ideal já é deixar a máquina quente pro cliente não ficar esperando por um lanche que ele busca que seja rápido. Acho que porque fui perguntar se ainda ia demorar (como disse minha filha é pequenininha e estava com fome) parece que ficaram com raiva e deixaram o creps dela ruim. Era de queijo e ficou estranho, com a casca completamente dura, marrom (não deu pra comer). Tentei cortar a parte da casquinha pra ela comer pelo menos o recheio, deu umas 3 mordidas e falou que estava ruim. E estava mesmo. Uma pena.

(Translated by Google) I ordered a simple pastel and they sent me the wrong order. Instead of accepting the error and sending me the correct one, they chose to put on a show. First, they forced the waitress to bring my pastel back to the table and cut it in half in front of me, trying to prove they'd sent it correctly. But it was wrong, just as I'd said. This left the waitress completely embarrassed; after all, it wasn't her fault, but she was the one who had to make the situation uncomfortable. Then they sent the correct one. But as if that weren't enough, when I went to pay, the cashier (who I assumed was the one in charge) came over to thank me for pointing out the error in the most passive-aggressive way I've ever seen in a restaurant. Even after I paid, she insisted on "thanking me" again, making things even more awkward. For a place that charges non-customers 10 reais to use the restroom, I don't understand the need for such a fuss over a pastel that would have been wasted because of their mistake. In short, I don't recommend it and won't be back. (Original) Pedi um pastel simples e mandaram meu pedido errado. Ao invés de aceitarem o erro e me mandarem o correto, preferiram fazer um show. Primeiro obrigaram a garçonete a voltar com meu pastel pra mesa e cortar no meio na minha frente tentando provar que tinham enviado certo. Mas estava errado, como eu tinha falado. Isso deixou a garçonete totalmente sem graça, afinal não era culpa dela, mas foi ela quem teve que fazer a situação ficar desagradável. Depois mandaram o certo. Mas, não bastasse ficar por isso, quando fui pagar, a mulher do caixa (que supus ser a que estava no comando ali) veio me agradecer por indicar o erro, da forma mais passiva agressiva que já presenciei num estabelecimento. Mesmo após o pagamento, ainda insistiu em "agradecer" mais uma vez deixando um constrangimento ainda maior. Para um lugar que cobra 10 reais para não clientes usarem o banheiro, não entendi a necessidade do drama em cima de 1 pastel que seria desperdiçado por conta de um erro deles. Enfim, não recomendo e não voltarei.

Beto Carrero World

Theme park
Water & Amusement Parks
Amusement park
Beto Carrero World is the largest theme park in Latin America, located in Penha. It offers a mix of thrilling entertainment with themed thrill rides, live cabaret shows, and a zoo. The park is known for its variety of attractions suitable for the whole family. Additionally, Penha boasts beautiful beaches and delicious seafood cuisine, making it an ideal destination for a fun-filled vacation.
A great place for a vacation. Beto Carrero stands out to me because this is one of the first amusement parks that I visited outside my home country. The park has a wide variety of food to choose from though I won't recommend having them if you are in there for rides which gets crazy. I did the following rides, Spin: Perhaps one of the easiest rides. I enjoyed it and maybe you would too. Roller Coaster: This one was crazy. I could barely keep my eyes open throughout the ride though my girlfriend enjoyed the ride. She wants to go for it again tomorrow. Madagascar circus: This was brilliant. I loved it, my girlfriend loved it, the kids loved it and everyone loved it. Though I didn't understand Portuguese, I still could make out what was going on in the circus. River adventure: This made me the happiest because I was relaxed throughout the ride and thankfully it didn't try to kill me. Overall, I am very content with the adventure park. It is beautifully decorated with colours and has those majestic rides that give you an instant adrenaline rush. I am planning to go back tomorrow again to secure the rides I missed on Day 1. I will post another review shortly.

As a theme park junkie, BCW provides a magical atmosphere for adrenaline seekers and family outings! The Fire Whip is a best in class inverted coaster and the Madagascar river boat is a never ending water maze of fun. You’ll enjoy the Beto Carrero theme through the entire park - plus it’s clean, and the ride lines weren’t too long (we visited on a Monday). The best part is that the staff were friendly and all aspects were firing on all cylinders - all rides and food open! Whip it good!

It is really nice place to visit with your kids and let your inner child go crazy with them. Somedays It is full occupied with the school kids trips. The staff need to be on top of crowd management during these busy times with school trips. Better rent stroller ( for kids) or scooter for old people or for yourself in case can't walk enough ( it's huge place to walk around for the shows and attractions). Advice you can rent items outside instead of inside the parque as the prices are way higher

Amazing park with tons to do for every age and taste! The only catch is: I recommend buying ONLINE AHEAD of time, as the day they wanted to charge us 3x the price but after letting them know we’d not pay that, the manager checked and they were able to give us a discount but it still cost twice as much. Overall great day between shows and rides, ending with fireworks and every one back. Would go back and get tickets/food choices prior to arriving. Ps. Parking is paid extra and they do allow you to enter with backpacks and water ;)
Thuany O — Google review
If I could go back in time, I’d never step foot in this park again. We’re not guests there we’re walking wallets. You guys keep milking us like cows, trying to squeeze every last penny out of us, and we would pay if we were happy , but we were on 100% disappointment . In these photos, you can see a screenshot showing the duration of one of the rides. We waited 45 minutes “Fast Pass” To go for a 40 seconds ride , and you call this “entertainment.” ?? The ride ended before I could even blink, and before you catch your breath, the employee is already rushing you out so the next 600 guests can be pushed in. Absolute garbage. In one of the videos, you can actually see people fighting, angry, shouting, completely frustrated. And that’s where the whole idea of an amusement park disappears. People shouldn’t be angry in a place meant for joy. The woman in that video didn’t even have what it called “Fast Pass” she’d been waiting for three hours. To get a ride for her kids, Meanwhile, your teenage employees move slowly, and couldn’t care less about the people. My advice to the management: Set a limit for yourselves. All this chaos happens because you accept as many guests as you can possibly fit , just to squeeze out a few more millions in the profit margin . Have some decency and put a cap, especially during high season, so people can actually enjoy and leave happy. And please, stop hiring only teenagers. Hire mature, trained adults who can actually handle problems when they arise. My advice to visitors: Avoid this place during high season. If you must go, try March or April , it might be slightly better. Be warned: everything inside is overpriced. Food, drinks, snacks , everything. Popcorn costs +R$30, a basic meal is R$50+, and there are endless extra fees. Don’t think buying the ticket is all you’ll spend , for two adults, expect at least R$300 for entry, another R$200 for the “Fast Pass,” plus 200 drinks and water. In general I won’t come back there again.

Perfect place to enjoy with kids! Beto Carrero park has a lot of attractions (radical, cultural and relaxing) for all ages. I recommend at least 2 days to enjoy most of the attractions If you are travelling with kids. They have partnership with DreamWorks Studios, which allow BCW deliver theme areas and shows, such as Madagascar, Shrek and Trolls.

Cristo Luz

Mentioned on 
29 lists 
Sights & Landmarks
Monuments & Statues
Cristo Luz is a 33-meter-tall monument located in Balneario Camboriu, resembling the Christ the Redeemer statue in Rio de Janeiro but with unique features such as Jesus wearing a broad-brimmed hat. At night, the statue is illuminated with colorful lights that change periodically, casting a spotlight on the city.
We arrived just a bit after 4:00PM when it opened to have a magnificent view of the city and the Christ statue up close. We stuck around and had a few drinks while we waited for the illumination, first the face at 6:30 and then the body alternating among all of the colors at 7:00. It was a lovely evening. There is a restaurant there also but we went elsewhere.

Cristo Luz is one of the most iconic attractions in Balneário Camboriú and absolutely worth visiting! The view from the top is spectacular you can see the entire city, the beach, and the coastline lit up at night, which makes it a truly unforgettable experience. The statue itself is beautiful, especially when illuminated with different colors that change throughout the evening, creating a magical atmosphere. The place is well maintained, organized, and easy to reach. There’s also a restaurant and a viewing area where you can relax, take photos, and enjoy the scenery. The staff is friendly and everything feels very safe and welcoming. Visiting at sunset or after dark is the best time the combination of the lights, music, and panoramic views is breathtaking. It’s definitely one of those must-see attractions that capture the charm and energy of Balneário Camboriú. Highly recommended for tourists and locals

I went early and there was hardly anyone there but I think later on there's more of a party vibe happening and the restaurants open. Worth visiting as a tourist.

A nice place to visit and see a beautiful view from both cities, Camboriú and Balneário Camboriú. However, you have to pay to access this place. The parking lot is good - you won't have any problems with it.

Situated in Balneário Camboriú, State of Santa Catarina, Rs, Brazil. Very touristic place. Inside you can spend as much time as you like as there's restaurants and live music at night time.

Central Beach, also known as the principal postcard of Balneario Camboriu, is a bustling 6.8 km stretch of seashore that offers chair and umbrella rentals along with stunning city views and access to various eateries. Recently expanded, the beach now boasts a wider sandy area and overlooks the illuminated Ilha das Cabras at night.
You're gonna enjoy it if you like crowds, there's lots of people in season. The sea is warm. At 16:30, the shore is already shadowed because of the buildings.

The teleférico ticket gets you to the top of the park, where you can stay and enjoy the trails in the Atlantic Forest or enjoy snacks or meals before continuing down to the beach of Laranjeiras where there are many restaurants and beautiful calm waves. Chairs and umbrellas are for rent if you wish to stay awhile. The ticket also gets you back where you can stay at the top for more time or continue on back to Balneário Camboriú. We started our voyage at around 10:00 and got back by 1:00.

Gosh there really aren't words to describe the views you get from up top of the mountain. It is "the" spot to take the mot beautiful panoramic pictures of Balnéario Camboriú. The city itself is beautiful but the views from up there are out of this world. I'm so glad I did it.

The area boasts nearby restaurants and a pier, making it convenient for visitors to enjoy the beach and its surroundings. Accessible via the thrilling cable ride from Uniprais Park, this crescent-shaped paradise provides a tranquil setting for sunbathing and swimming.
I don't need to tell you this beach is amazing. But I do recommend visiting between sept- nov and from about april to Jun. The crowds in the summer are miserable. You will find some decent warm days in the winter to enjoy the beach as well. Wonderful restaurants and shops around too.

Northern Lagoinha Beach

Beaches
The Northern Lagoinha Beach is a low-key coastal retreat with 12 rooms, an outdoor pool, and complimentary breakfast. It boasts one of the finest beaches in Floripa, making it highly recommended for a visit. The beach offers various services to cater to your needs throughout the day. However, finding extended-hour parking is advisable as they close at 7:00 pm.
Most of the beaches look the same but worth the visit. There are free buses on sat and sun but expect 2-3hrs bus rides. You are better off going on weekdays and pay 6 reals for 2 rides within 2-3 hrs. It allows you to see 2 beaches per ticket. You need to get a bus pass I believe. Follow my other beach reviews for more tips!
Antoine A — Google review
During days with nice weather the beach is totally crowded, since it’s narrow and not too long, but it definitely has the best water temperature in the whole island. Recommended for families with kids since the waves aren’t big. Many vendors There’s a trail that takes you from lagoinha to a nearby beach, definitely wear shoes if doing it
Bianca R — Google review
Very laid back and kid friendly. Lagoinha is one of the few beaches in Florianópolis that you can still eat, drink and chill right in front of the sea. There are a few options for restaurants but the most traditional is "Lula" that has been there for almost 40 years and still today offer great seafood dishes.

Julio Y — Google review
One of the best beaches in Floripa. I recommend this beach. Services, and all you need to spend the whole day. One recomendation is to look for a parking lot with extended hour as they close at 7.00 pm. Best beach time or simply to go very early and leave (8.00 8.30 am) the car in the street as near as you can from the beach so you don't have to worry about the time.
Sergio C — Google review
Nice cozy beach on the north of the island, with calm waters, wide sand, and a few quiet restaurants. Good for bringing your kids. The view is beautiful, and there is a small river with clear water disemboguing in the sea. A must go, if you want a quiet day of leisure.

Excelente praia, com água bem tranquila, e serviço de bares. Boa opção para levar crianças. It’s one of the most calm beach around Florianopolis. Water is clear, but sometimes it gets relatively crowded. However, you count on service of bars and restaurants around. It’s a good beach for bringing young kids.
