Overcrowded form mid-December to mid-March still a find for surfers and beachgoers.
VLCS, an apres-surf bar caters to a more laid back crowd, dead center on the beach. Jack Johnson can be heard from Cesar's(the proprietor)speakers. Facinating even without beer's help is Denise the running waitress. At once Forrest Gump (self- proclaimed) with Brazilian charm, serves 100+ patrons with ease. Disarmingly borderline OCD with a smile that will entice a tip and a shake of the head in admiration. Great. Cesar you're lucky. Lazed beachgoers departing early evening will marvel as she sprints past traffic on her way home. Run Denise Run.

Absolutely loved this beach! We stayed towards the mid to South of the beach away from the hustle and bustle of the Middle of the beach. This area was still happening and had a great vibe yet we had plenty of room and had the attention of the beach bar service men the whole time.
Beautiful beach with great mid size waves for a surf. Worth spending a few days there!

This was one of my favorite beaches in Florianopolis even if I couldn't swim there. The waves are better for surf and the water is very cold, but the landscape is amazing especially if you walk for a couple of minutes to Galheta Beach. The scenery is breathtaking, a lot of cliffs, a small path that goes through tropical vegetation and then goes down to Galheta. Don't miss it!

Nice Beach. You can reach the beach by bus 630 or car. In case of a car do not park at the street, because the cars will be towed away. We walked from Lagoa de Conceicao, but the part over the mountain has too much trafic.
Bar do Deca is very nice.

It's a beach where standing at the sand you see the ocean from above. it's different from others. The sand strip is large. The beach is not very long but is beautiful. There are places to park the car near.

This beach was very easy to get to and was perfect for a day in the sun.
Plenty of places to eat and drink, felt safe as lifeguards are present. And this beach is what you make it.

Praia Mole is one of the best-known beaches on the island. It is popular with the locals as well as the visitors and thus the beach can be crowded during the high season from December to February. There are several bars which serve cold and refreshing drinks. The dark sand gives its name "Mole".

A melhor opção é o Hotel Praia Mole que fica em frente a entrada principal da praia. O acesso para a palheta se faz a pé caminhando na direção norte da Mole e depois atravessando as pedras e seguindo a trilha vc chegará na Galheta.

Por favor,
quero passar um tempo na praia nudista de Galhetas.
Lembras do nome do hotel ou pousada que usaste perto da Praia Mole?
Ou então poderias me dizer em qual praia era teu hotel?
Recordas se era demorado para chegar à praia Mole, de carro ou a pé?
Aguardo notícias.
Abraço

Viajarei sozinha para a Praia Mole no fim de abril e estarei sem carro, hospedada em um hostel subindo um pouco o morro. Gostaria de saber se é tranquilo ou se é perigoso andar a pé por lá, especialmente no trajeto praia hostel (The View Hostel) e para os restaurantes próximos. Caso necessário, consigo pegar táxi/uber facilmente por lá? Obrigada

Estou na praia dos ingleses, qual melhor sequência para conhecer a ilha, das melhores praias?
Bom você tem que conhecer o Balneário de Canasvieiras, Jurerê Internacional, Praia da Barra e Daniela. São as mais tops de Floripa.
olá gostaria de saber a localização e valor do voo de parapente ou asadelta

Olá Isabela, dá para fazer voos nos dois lados da praia mole, o legal é que antes de ir ao morro, ligue e se informe.
Te indico a Parapente Floripa, também se pode voar de paramotor.
Os preços dos voos de parapente são de 200 reais e os voos de paramotor custam 250 reais.

El valor del ómnibus es R3,50 en el centro salen de TICEN terminal de integración Centro hasta TILAG - Terminal Integración Lagoa , después se toma 360 a Barra da Lagoa y bajas en la entrada de la playa Mole. Solo se paga un boleto aunque se cambie de ómnibus . El sistema es muy agil y hay muchas frecuencias , en diciembre son muy puntuales con los horarios publicados.
