Praia da Tapera, Beach in Florianópolis, Brazil

The beach extends for half a kilometer with yellow sand and shallow waters, featuring a seabed filled with small shells and moderate water temperatures.

The indigenous Carijós people first inhabited this region, with the name Tapera referring to structures similar to abandoned indigenous dwellings.

Local fishermen maintain their traditions by offering boat services to nearby islands, contributing to the preservation of maritime customs in the community.

Located 20 kilometers from downtown Florianópolis and 8.5 kilometers from the airport, the beach provides convenient access for visitors exploring the southern region.

During low tide, visitors can walk across a narrow strip of exposed seabed to reach Ilha Dona Francisca, one of two islands visible from the shore.
