Praia do Gravatá, Secluded beach in Florianópolis, Brazil.
The beach extends 60 meters along the eastern region of Santa Catarina Island, featuring clear waters and natural rock pools near native vegetation.
The location contains prehistoric stone markings and megaliths that form part of an ancient astronomical observatory used by early inhabitants.
Local fishermen gather at the beach during mullet season between May and July, maintaining traditional fishing practices in the coastal waters.
Access requires a 1,250-meter trail walk from Avenida das Rendeiras, where visitors can find parking spaces and restaurants near the trailhead.
The beach derives its name from the Gravatá plants, hardy bromeliads with thorny characteristics that grow abundantly on the surrounding rocks.
