Additional Surfing Infos |
| | Park your car in the parking lot, they have security. No rip off problem (but don´t show your CD player to everybody).
Powerful beach break. Very good waves, good for tubes and lots of maneuvers. Most consistent spot on the island of Santa Catarina. As most beach breaks, no easy way in when it´s big.
Better places to paddle to the line-up are between a large rock in the water and the coast cliff, and around the middle of the beach.

Overview |
| |
Atmosphere |
This is the most well-know spot on the island, but surprisingly, sometimes you can get great (and I really mean GREAT waves) with the beach empty, even on weekends (at winter only).
The waves are great, the beach is nice, and there are plenty of other stuff to do (sandboard, girl chasing). It´s always worth a try. Beware of locals. |
