Praia do Santinho, Beach in Florianópolis, Brazil
The 2-kilometer stretch of golden sand meets strong waves, creating a natural environment surrounded by dunes and native vegetation.
Ancient rock inscriptions dating back 4000 years feature geometric and anthropomorphic figures carved by indigenous peoples on the coastal rocks.
The beach name originates from small saint-like drawings discovered in the rocky outcrops, now preserved in the open-air Archaeological Museum.
The beach offers visitor facilities including showers, restrooms, restaurants, and a wooden deck providing panoramic views of the coastline.
The beach dunes contain the rare plant species Hypoxis atlantica, found only in this location and select areas in Bahia state.
