FLORIANOPOLIS
" there is nothing more beautiful than the way the ocean refuses to stop kissing the shore line, no matter how many times it is sent away."

HELLO THERE!
Florianopolis is the capital of the state of Santa Catarina, on the coast of the Atlantic Ocean in the South region of Brazil. It is composed of one main island, a continental part and all the surrounding small islands. The main island has 42 stunning white and golden sand beaches with turquoise clear waters, and several stunning inland jaded water lagoons and waterfalls surrounded by lush green hills.
"Floripa" offers everything, from secluded long stretches of untouched and pristine coastline to upscale beaches packed with active and attractive people. It's a place where people are very conscious of being healthy and their lifestyle reflects this. Iron men, Challenge, and inumerous other sporting events are held there.
Whilst the waters of the west side are calm, the east is blessed with a constant flow of Atlantic swells.
Praia Mole and Praia da Joaquina are some of the most vibrant and pristine beaches, while Jurere is a calm blue sea of warm and clean waters with an opulent lush lifestyle, next to Fort San Jose da Ponta Grossa, one of the historic fortifications of Florianopolis.
It is not by chance that Florianopolis, with its laid back beach culture is frequently named as "the best place to live in Brazil" with the highest reported quality of life in Brazil.
