Campeche, Coastal neighborhood in Santa Catarina, Brazil.
Description
Campeche is a coastal neighborhood extending along a 3-kilometer beach of white sand with strong ocean swells. The area features dunes, residential sections, and working fishing grounds where boats and maritime activity remain everyday elements.
History
The neighborhood developed from an 18th-century fishing settlement that shaped its early character. A chapel built during that period still stands as a landmark connecting the area's founding period to today's community.
Culture
The neighborhood retains its fishing heritage with locals who continue traditional practices passed down through families. Daily life at the shore revolves around boat work and selling fresh catches, keeping maritime customs alive.
Practical
Bus service connects the neighborhood regularly to central Florianópolis with stops near the beach entrance. The area remains exposed to wind and strong waves, so visitors should prepare for changeable weather and powerful ocean conditions.
