Praia do Campeche

Top choice in Santa Catarina


The 3.5km Praia do Campeche is one of Floripa's five-star beaches, an absolute stunner of sun-kissed perfection with wind conditions lending themselves to fantastic surfing and kitesurfing. Desolate dunes and pounding surf – stretching for miles in either direction – offer relative solitude for swimmers and sunbathers.

Bus 463 (R$4.20) from TIRIO drops you 350m from the beach.
