Praia do Saquinho, Small coastal beach in southern Santa Catarina Island, Brazil.

The beach extends for 75 meters along the coastline, featuring white sand bordered by rock formations and turquoise waters during clear weather conditions.

The name derives from Azorean settlers who used the term 'saquinho' to describe protected coastal areas safe from strong waves and ocean currents.

The beach area maintains traditional Brazilian coastal practices, with local fishermen utilizing the rocky shores for their daily catch activities.

Access requires a trek through a steep trail starting at Praia da Solidão, with visitors needing to bring their own supplies due to limited facilities.

The beach population decreased from 170 to just six permanent residents, creating an isolated environment surrounded by Atlantic Forest vegetation.
