To visit that area, you need to make a special trip for it. This is a day trip. You have a small village sleepy of sea on, too crowded at summer time lying down the lagoa. This is the single access to the beaches. Except if you are a good swimmer and you do not carry with you anything that needs to be waterproof, the only access to the beaches is by hiring on the spot small boats to cross the laguna waters.

This is a very pleasant place near Florianopolis. From the village to the beach, you must take a man-pushed small boat, that makes the small trip even more interesting. Cool atmosphere. Amazing seafood at the village. A MUST GO place!

A small town still left in the 1970s. The ability to live as cheap or expensive as you want.
Beautiful beaches and excellent hikes.
As most beaches, gets busy during tourist times.

I have been there when I was much younger and its beauty is still an impact. You cross the river in a small boat driven by the locals. The beach and the island, all impressive. Spend the day and enjoy with the family.

Guarda do Embaú is a real paradise. In this beach you have the opportunity to surf great waves all over the year, do some hiking, walking or just enjoy chilling at the seaside!

This is the best beach ever! There are a lot of things to do, for kids, adults of teenagers. The sea meats the river and experience is amazing! There is also a trekking with an amazing view in the end that is totally worth it. By far the best place to go, not only in the neighborhood but probably from de entire country! You can spend the day there and not get bored, besides the city has a lot of restaurants and cafes. Don't miss it!

Gostaria de saber se vale a pena no carnaval colocar um carrinho food drinks na guarda do Embaú, para vender bebidas a noite?
Written January 24, 2020
Acredito que valha a pena, sim. A Guarda "está na moda" e tá sempre lotada de turistas. Então, qualquer coisa que tu venda relacionada à alimentação ou bebida, vai dar certo!

Pessoal, consigo locar guarda sol e cadeiras tudo por lá?
Written January 9, 2020
Sim! Na parte onde se atravessa de barquinho aluguei por 10,00 cada cadeira e cada guarda sol. Na praia pela trilha o guarda sol era 15,00. Isso no feriado de 15/11. Tem que alugar porém as cadeiras sao muito boas.
