Dunas da Lagoa da Conceição Municipal Nature Park

This municipal nature park in Florianópolis protects a large coastal landscape with sand dunes, lagoons, and waterways surrounded by diverse native plants. The area offers marked trails for walking, designated spots for viewing wildlife, and open spaces where visitors can experience the dunes and wetlands up close.

The area was recognized as a city heritage site in 1975 and received official park status in 1988. The protected territory was later expanded to preserve more of the coastal landscape and its natural habitats.

The park offers visitors a chance to experience how coastal plant and animal communities survive in sand dunes and wetland areas. Local residents value it as a place to connect with and protect the natural heritage of their region for future generations.

Wear sturdy shoes when walking the trails, as paths cross sandy and uneven ground. Early morning or late afternoon visits offer cooler conditions and better chances to spot wildlife moving through the park.

Hidden beneath the dunes is a freshwater aquifer that supplies drinking water to the surrounding region, making this park essential for water security. Many visitors overlook this underground resource, not realizing they stand above a vital source that sustains the local community.
