Palmas Access |
| |
From Florianópolis, drive north on BR101 Highway. Stay tuned to the big sign showing the Gov. Celso Ramos city entrance. When you see it, slow down, so you will miss it. Drive more 18km to the little town Gov. Celso Ramos. When you get there, right after the elementary school, turn right to reach Palmas beach in the other side the big hill. There are signs; you won't miss it. All the way is asphalt. Very nice driving and very nice sights to see. |

Additional Surfing Infos |
| | Palmas is a powerfull beach break, known in Brazil as Santa Catarina's Puerto Escondido version. It is not so consistent as Florianópolis spots are, because it pumps only with east swells. But when it pumps with offshore winds you will see a really powerfull barrels machine. If it gets bigger than 5ft-6ft, you have to be sure about what you are going to do outside, because de tube is very strong and you have only 3ft water deep. The perfect condition is 3ft east triangule swell with south winds, early in the morning. Locals are fine, but don't think the waves belong only to you. Be kind and they'll like you.

Overview |
| |
Atmosphere |
The beach is a very familiar place. There is no hot night life. There are few restaurants. No big structures. There is a gas station, no bank agencies, a small police station and some markets. In the fishers village, there are also good restaurants, an ice cream buffet, a surf shop. It is a place to rest with your family. Don't miss your photo machine. The sight is fantastic! |
| |
General |
Heavy wave! When over pumping 5ft-6ft, barrels, barrels and barrels, strong face, fast and powerfull. Better watch yourself. |
