Praia dos Açores, Beach in Florianópolis, Brazil.

Praia dos Açores is a beach on the southern coast of Santa Catarina Island with golden sand and clear water that stretches along a quiet shoreline. Rocky outcrops and small coves create natural divisions along the shore.

The sources record no colonial founding for this stretch of coast; the settlement that exists is the fishing village of Pântano do Sul, whose harbour lies about 2 km away. The district sits roughly 30–31 km from Florianópolis centro, between the beaches of Solidão and Pântano do Sul, reached by a paved avenue.

Fishing families have long shaped this coastline, and their daily work with boats and nets remains visible along the shore today. Fresh seafood from these waters remains central to how locals eat and celebrate.

The beach is accessible by car and has parking areas near the entrance for visitors. Water conditions and crowds vary with the seasons, so plan your visit according to what you prefer.

From the pale sand of Praia dos Açores, the Três Irmãs islands and the Moleques do Sul island can be seen offshore. The beach lies between Praia da Solidão and Pântano do Sul, about 30 km from the centre of Florianópolis, and the fishing village port stands roughly 2 km away.
