Praia dos Naufragados, Remote beach in Florianópolis, Brazil
The white sand beach stretches along clear waters, bordered by dense Atlantic Forest vegetation and marked by rocky formations at both ends.
The beach earned its name from numerous shipwrecks of Azorean vessels that occurred near its shores during the colonial period of Brazil.
Local fishermen maintain traditional fishing methods passed down through generations, using small boats and hand-cast nets in the morning hours.
Visitors need to walk a 3-kilometer trail through the Atlantic Forest or take a boat ride to reach the beach, as no road access exists.
A lighthouse from 1861 stands at the southern end of the beach, accompanied by preserved military fortifications from the 18th century.
