Praia da Vila

Praia da Vila in Imbituba is Brazil's answer to Sunset Beach, a powerful beach break that can handle serious size when winter swells push up from the Antarctic. The wave breaks over deep water sandbars that shift with the seasons, creating A-frame peaks that barrel on solid swells. Local chargers have pushed the limits here on triple overhead days, earning the spot a reputation as one of Brazil's premier big wave beach breaks. The surrounding town has a laid-back fishing village vibe.
