Imbituba, Coastal municipality in Santa Catarina, Brazil

Located along the southern Brazilian coast, Imbituba extends across 182 square kilometers with numerous beaches, mountains, and sand dunes near Florianópolis.

Established in 1923, Imbituba developed from a whaling station founded in 1796, marking the southernmost point of Brazilian whaling operations.

The local population reflects the heritage of Portuguese, Italian, and German settlers who established their communities in this coastal region.

The Port of Imbituba operates as the sole private port in Brazil, connecting the region through modernized transportation networks and facilities.

Right whales return to Imbituba's waters during winter and spring seasons for mating and nurturing their young in protected marine areas.
