Itapema, Coastal municipality in Santa Catarina, Brazil.
Itapema extends along the eastern coast of Santa Catarina state, featuring multiple beaches and a network of residential areas at an elevation of 2 meters.
Portuguese and Azorean settlers established the first communities in the early 19th century, creating a police district in 1914 and achieving municipal status in 1962.
The municipality preserves Azorean traditions through local festivals, while contemporary events include regional music performances and seasonal celebrations throughout the year.
The city provides numerous beachfront accommodations, restaurants serving regional cuisine, and direct access to Meia Praia, the longest beach in the area.
Every year, Itapema hosts an Ultralight Encounter where pilots demonstrate their aircraft and perform aerial maneuvers over the coastal landscape.
