Hiking area
Morro da Cruz stands as the highest point in São Francisco do Sul, reaching an impressive height of 167 meters. The journey to its summit is marked by a trail that winds through lush native forest, leading adventurers to a cross erected in 1947. From this vantage point, visitors are rewarded with breathtaking panoramic views of the city and surrounding landscapes. Accessing Morro da Cruz is straightforward via BR-280, just 1.

Aliado — Google review
(Translated by Google) The climb up the mountain is very steep and dangerous. There are a lot of slippery places and practically nothing to grab onto, but at the same time it is quite picturesque and cozy. At the top the cross was not very impressive, but from the mountain there is a gorgeous view of the city and the sea)
(Original)
Подъем на гору очень крутой и опасный. Очень много скользких мест и практически не за что ухватиться, но при этом он довольно живописный и уютный. На вершине крест не очень впечатлил, но зато с горы открывается шикарный вид на город и море)
(Translated by Google) It's a very tiring trail because it's very steep. It's short but tiring. But the view certainly makes up for all the tiredness. It's so beautiful.
(Original)
É uma trilha bem cansativa porque é bem ingrime. Curtinha mas cansa. Mas a vista com certeza compensa todo o cansaço. Linda de mais
(Translated by Google) I've been here several times, and I highly recommend it. I left a video of the entrance, because even though I've been here several times, this time I just walked straight past because I didn't see the sign. The trail doesn't require a guide, and it's free. It's a bit steep but a very quick climb, about 20 minutes. It's tiring but worth it, lol, the view from the top is really beautiful!
(Original)
Já vim várias vezes, e super recomendo. Deixei um video da entrada, pois apesar de ter vindo várias vezes, desta vez passei reto pois não vi a placa. A trilha não precisa de guia, e é gratuita. Um pouco íngreme mas uma subida muito rápida, uns 20 minutos. Cansa mas vale a pena kkk a vista la de cima é muito linda!
(Translated by Google) A beautiful landscape climbing up Morro da Cruz, seeing the city in 360° is worth the sacrifice of climbing the trail.
(Original)
Uma linda paisagem subir ao Morro da Cruz, ver a cidade em 360° vale a pena o Sacrifício subir a trilha .
(Translated by Google) Indescribable... A tough trail, even though it doesn't seem that long. Dense forest, lots of mud and humidity, slippery. But it's worth every stumble, the place is incredible. A 360 degree view of the entire island. It's impossible to visit São Chico and not do this trail. I highly recommend it.
(Original)
Indescritível... Uma trilha pesadinha, apesar de não parecer tão longa. Mata fechada, bastante lama e umidade, escorregadia. Mas vale cada tropeçooooo, o lugar é incrível. Uma vista 360 graus de toda Ilha. É impossível visitar São Chico e não fazer esta trilha. Recomendo muittttooooo
(Translated by Google) Rustic trail, a bit steep but very pleasant to do. We spent 30 minutes climbing, which is moderate for those who are not prepared and easy for those who are used to it. There is a small spring of water on the way, but we do not know if it is drinkable. The view from the top is beautiful, it is worth climbing and spending some time up there enjoying the entire view of Babitonga Bay and São Francisco do Sul in 360°. You can see Itapoá and even the border with Paraná in the distance.
(Original)
Trilha rústica, um pouco ingrime porém bem gostosa de fazer, gastamos 30 minutos na subida que é de nível moderado pra quem não tem preparo e fácil pra quem está acostumado. Tem um biquinha de água no caminho porém não sabemos se é potável, a vista lá de cima é linda, compensa muito subir e passar um tempo lá em cima apreciando toda a vista da baia da Babitonga e são Francisco do sul em 360°. Da pra ver Itapoá e até a divisa com o Paraná ao longe.
(Translated by Google) It is well worth climbing, the trail is accessible, although some trees have fallen on the trail, the climb is not that difficult, but the view is worth it. Entrance to the trail via BR

Great place with sea sight
Brisa A — Google review
It was a very scenic and beautiful visual of the sea - straight from the fortress of Marechal Luz.
I loved the visit, accompanied by my girlfriend's family!
The soldiers at the entrance were very kind, and the entry fee was 5R$.
Everything was clean and the atmosphere was very safe.
Thank you SFDS!
Great little fort to visit with great views
Great views, but the museum is really small and not all that well taken care of. The space is great with the possibility of bringing chairs and sitting and enjoying the view for longer than usual.
It was fun, great views
Beautiful and interesting place. Stunning views over the coast also. Small museum was really good to and even some English canons.
In addition to all the history involved, the fort has an odd beauty, it is very worth knowing!

The Centro Histórico de São Francisco do Sul, located on the shores of Baia de Babitonga, is a must-visit attraction in the area. It boasts a collection of 150 historic buildings, including well-preserved grand mansions, the Matriz Church, and the Maritime Museum. Exploring this area provides insight into the French contributions to Brazil's history. The picturesque views from the sea offer a unique perspective of this charming historical district.
I loved having gone here. It gave me so much historic knowledge of the French settlements in the area-which I had very little knowledge of.
Gerson S — Google review
I think it's nice, it's little and historical.
I walked around for about an hour, I was there primarily for historical knowledge. I wanted to see the contributions that the French left in Brasil so I visited that area. I thought for a moment that I was in New Orleans minus the smells and more hilly. I thought it was a quaint town that time had forgotten with beautiful views of the bay that would make anyone anywhere drop their jaws.
One of best place I have visited nice sea shore veiw and good sea food restaurants in the area 👍👌👌

Quiet and wonderful. The corner of the beach, close to the rocks is very family friendly with calm and warm waters. Also good place to surf (enthusiasts) not too big waves but “surfable”. Soft sand be aware to bring flip flops as it gets really hot.

Praia do Paulas, nestled behind the port area and just 2 km from the historic center of São Francisco do Sul, is a hidden gem among four stunning beaches in the region. This charming beach boasts calm, shallow waters protected by the Bay of Babitonga, making it perfect for families with children. While its location means it's not suitable for swimming due to water quality concerns, its picturesque scenery makes it a popular spot at sunset.

(Translated by Google) The small Paulas Beach is located in São Francisco do Sul/SC and offers a narrow strip of sand, ideal for children, as it has few waves.
Located in a bay, it is small, beautiful and pleasant, has rock formations, dark, calm and warm waters and very little tourist infrastructure, being the ideal place for those who want peace and quiet, to enjoy the day with the family, go for walks, exercise or do aerobic activities.
Next to the Hotel and Marina Vila Real, there are small squares with benches, where you can enjoy the sunset.

A pequena Praia de Paulas fica localizada em São Francisco do Sul/SC e oferece uma faixa de areia estreita, é ideal para crianças, pois tem poucas ondas.

Ao lado do Hotel e da Marina Vila Real, tem ao redor pracinhas com bancos, que permitem curtir o pôr do Sol.

(Translated by Google) Historic city, just lacks security, there are robberies in commerce. In front of the market there are some guys, guarding spaces, parking is public!!!! They keep fighting among themselves, it's scary, we don't even know if they're armed. The church square is beautiful. If it weren't for their clothes and trash, they sleep in this square at night. You have to organize the city. But it's still beautiful!!! I loved.

Mas é linda ainda !!! Amei.

(Translated by Google) A very old water fountain! They built a fence around it to preserve it. You have to be careful if you can't miss it.
It has original Portuguese tiles! For those of us who love history, it is exciting to see it still give its trickle of water and imagine the residents of that time going to carry their water vessels! I don't know if the water is drinkable...there was some verdigris. It is also very interesting to see!
(Original)
Una fuente de agua muy antigua! Le construyeron un cerquito alrededor para preservarlo. Tienes que ir con cuidado si no te lo podés pasar por alto.
Tiene azulejos portugueses originales! Para los que amamos la historia es emocionante verlo dar todavía su hilito de agua e imagimarse a los pobladores de aquel entonces ir a cargar sus vasijas de agua! No sé si el agua es potable...se veía algo de verdín. Igualmente es muy interesante de ver!
(Translated by Google) Water fountain or spouts that served to supply water to the old village. In the city of São Francisco, there are still 3 with the original construction, and their beautiful Portuguese tiles. This one, which is the oldest in the city, is neglected. These fountains were called carioca by the indigenous people, which means: house of white people. But it is worth visiting this historical landmark.
Located at the intersection of Rua Benjamim Constant and Rua Floriano Peixoto.
We follow the control protocols against Covid.
I recommend it for those who enjoy architectural, historical and religious attractions.
(Original)
Fonte ou bicas da água que serviam para o abastecimento de água da antiga vila. Na cidade de São Francisco ainda encontram-se 3 com a construção original, e seus belos azulejos portugueses. Essa visitada, que é a mais antiga da cidade está descuidada. Essas fontes eram chamadas de carioca pelo indígenas, cujo significado era : casa de branco Mas vale para conhecermos esse marco histórico.
Localizada na confluência das Rua Benjamim Constant esquina Floriano Peixoto.
Seguimos os protocolos de controle contra o covid.
Para quem aprecia atrações de cunho arquitetônico, histórico e religioso, indico.
(Translated by Google) A very peaceful historical site. It is worth visiting not only the water fountain but also other interesting tourist attractions in the city.
(Original)
Local histórico bem tranquilo. Vale a pena a visita não só a bica d'água mas também nos outros pontos turísticos interessantes na cidade.
(Translated by Google) Carioca is an indigenous name for the water fountains that once supplied the village. Of the five original cariocas, only three remain. Two have been restored. Crystal clear water still flows from the three fountains. And it is consumed by both residents and tourists.
Cariocas, the old water fountains of São Francisco do Sul
Cariocas, São Francisco do Sul
The first fountain, on Benjamim Constant Street, was restored in 1884. It features Portuguese tiles. The second, on Marcílio Dias Street, is in colonial style and was restored more recently. And the third, located on Coronel Oliveira Street, maintains its original features.
Fun fact
Legend has it that whoever drinks from these waters will return to São Francisco do Sul.
(Original)
Carioca é uma denominação indígena para as bicas de água que abasteciam a vila, antigamente. Das cinco cariocas originais, restam apenas três. Duas, restauradas. Águas cristalinas ainda jorram das três bicas. E são consumidas tanto por moradores como por turistas.

A primeira bica, na Rua Benjamim Constant, foi recuperada em 1884. Ela apresenta azulejos portugueses. A segunda, na Rua Marcílio Dias, em estilo colonial foi mais recentemente recuperada. E a terceira, localizada na Rua Coronel Oliveira, mantém as características originais.
Curiosidade
Diz a lenda, que quem beber dessas águas retornará a São Francisco do Sul.
(Translated by Google) Immersion in the past (at the time, water was taken from the spout and sold to those who lived far away). The spout is well preserved and provides good historical records.
(Original)
Imersão no passado (na época, a água era retirada da bica e vendida a quem morava longe). A bica está bem conservada, e rende bons registros históricos.
(Translated by Google) Fresh water straight from the mountains

In addition to the extremely friendly people who work here, especially Claudia, who welcomed us, she told us a lot about the city and the various tourist attractions that are available in this incredible place!
