Frequently Asked Questions
At anchor offshore: the roadstead is too shallow for cruise ships. Tenders drop passengers at a pier near the centre, minutes from Praia Central.
On the coast of Santa Catarina state in southern Brazil, about 80 kilometres north of Florianópolis. The city has grown upward like few beach resorts anywhere.
Praia Central on foot from the pier, then the Unipraias park cable car over to Laranjeiras beach. The Cristo Luz needs a few minutes by taxi and is best saved for late in the day.
Yes. The water is calm and swimming is easy along a long ribbon of urban sand lined with a promenade of juice kiosks, terraces and umbrella rentals. The show never stops: futevôlei players, roving vendors, families settled in for the day.
A cable car rising over the Morro da Aguada at the south end of the bay and descending to Laranjeiras beach. The ride passes over a fragment of Atlantic rainforest, with trails, lookouts, a zipline and a rail toboggan at the summit station.
A 33-metre Christ on a hill behind the city, carrying a sun-like disc on his shoulder from which a beam of light sweeps the rooftops at night. The esplanade offers a panorama over the bay, the towers and the wooded hills.
At sunset. Everything lights up at once in front of you, and the contrast between the dark ocean and the glowing grid of avenues justifies the trip on its own.
Laranjeiras, on the far side of the hill, reached by cable car. It is a more intimate cove, with fish restaurants right on the sand.
The Brazilian real, and Portuguese. This is a resort where Brazil itself goes on holiday: English is not widely spoken outside tour operators.
Very much so. A calm beach within walking distance, the cable car, a zipline and a rail toboggan: the day fills itself. Urban density and high-season crowds are the only drawback.
