Canajurê, Beach in Florianópolis, Brazil.

Canajurê is a beach in Florianópolis with gentle waves and clear waters that extends for about two kilometers along the coast. The shoreline features fine sand and is bordered by a row of restaurants and local fishing structures.

The beach takes its name from a hotel and a large tourist development built on this stretch between Canasvieiras and Jurerê: Canajurê combines the syllables CANA- of Canasvieiras and -JURÊ of Jurerê. The name thus dates from the tourist occupation of the northern coast of Santa Catarina Island, not from an older fishing settlement.

The name Canajurê was coined when a hotel and a tourist condominium were built here, combining CANAsvieiras and JUreRÊ, the two beaches it lies between. The beach sits on the north of Santa Catarina Island, in Florianópolis, about 15 km from the city centre.

Canajurê lies between Canasvieiras and Jurerê, about 15 km from central Florianópolis on the northwest of Santa Catarina Island. The beach is small, so it is reached on foot from the surrounding streets; the neighbouring beaches are the reference points for orientation. Facilities belong to the hotel and tourist development that gave the beach its name.

The name Canajurê is a portmanteau coined when a hotel and a tourist condominium were built here, combining CANAsvieiras and JUreRÊ, the two beaches it lies between.
