Mole Beach, Beach in Florianópolis, Brazil
Praia Mole extends for 960 meters along the eastern coast of Florianópolis, featuring coarse sand and medium to large waves for water sports.
The beach remained undeveloped until the 1980s when surfers began frequenting the location, leading to the construction of a hotel complex in the area.
Praia Mole has established itself as a primary gathering spot for LGBTQ+ visitors, particularly during the Florianópolis Carnival celebrations in February.
Visitors access the beach through a walking trail from Highway SC-406, with parking spaces available among trees, though fees may apply during peak seasons.
The beach depth increases rapidly near the shoreline, creating strong currents that make it a preferred location for experienced surfers and water sports enthusiasts.
