Praia Brava, Beach in northern Florianópolis, Brazil.
The 1.5-kilometer stretch of sand varies from 25 to 80 meters wide, with medium to large waves creating strong currents along the shore.
The beach area remained isolated until the 1980s when entrepreneur Nilton Ramos developed an urban plan that transformed it into a residential neighborhood.
During summer, the beach becomes a meeting point where DJs and live music performances entertain visitors along the shoreline.
Swimming requires caution due to strong waves and currents, while the beach offers excellent conditions for surfing throughout the year.
The sand strip connects to Ponta da Feiticeira headland in the northwest and Ponta da Bota in the southeast, forming natural boundaries with neighboring beaches.
