Mozambique Beach, Atlantic coastal beach in Florianópolis, Brazil.
Stretching for 13.5 kilometers along Santa Catarina Island, Mozambique Beach features white sand bordered by natural dunes and pine forests.
The beach name evolved from Long Beach to Big Beach before becoming Mozambique Beach in 1850, possibly connected to African maritime connections.
This beach attracts surfers who seek strong waves in a natural setting, away from commercial developments and urban structures.
Located 29 kilometers from downtown Florianópolis, the beach requires private transportation as it lacks public infrastructure and commercial facilities.
The beach sits within Parque Florestal do Rio Vermelho, a 400,000-square-meter nature reserve containing diverse plant species and coastal wildlife.
