Praia do Campeche, White sand beach in Florianópolis, Brazil
The beach stretches along 11.5 kilometers of coastline with clear waters and consistent waves that attract swimmers and surfers throughout the year.
The area gained prominence in 1927 when the French Compagnie générale aéropostale established an airport, marking its role in early aviation history.
The beach maintains strong connections to surfing traditions, with local instructors passing down techniques and water knowledge through generations.
Visitors can access numerous restaurants, shops, and accommodation options within walking distance, while regular bus services connect to central Florianópolis.
The beach sand produces an audible squeaking sound when walked upon, due to the specific mineral composition and texture of its grains.
