Praia da Solidão, Beach in southern Santa Catarina Island, Brazil
Praia da Solidao is a sandy beach on the southern coast of Santa Catarina Island with white sand and strong Atlantic waves. The shoreline runs for several hundred meters along an open coastline with no nearby development.
The name refers to rodents that once roamed the coastal area and influenced local naming traditions. This connection reflects human observation of the local wildlife over many centuries.
Local fishermen maintain traditional fishing practices at this beach, contributing to the preservation of regional maritime customs in Santa Catarina.
Visitors should bring all supplies and food since there are no shops or restaurants nearby. Preparation is essential as the nearest facilities are located in a distant town.
A natural waterfall creates a freshwater pool near the shore, reachable through a short walk into the Atlantic Forest. This hidden spot is frequently overlooked by visitors seeking only the beach.
