Lagoinha do Leste
Lagoinha do Leste is Florianópolis's hidden paradise, a pristine beach accessible only via a challenging 2-hour hike through Atlantic Forest. The effort is rewarded with uncrowded waves breaking in one of the most beautiful natural settings on the island. A freshwater lagoon meets the sea here, creating a unique landscape. Bring supplies and allow a full day for the adventure.
