Joaquina, Surfing beach in Florianópolis, Brazil
Joaquina Beach stretches over three kilometers along the eastern coast of Santa Catarina Island with fine sand and powerful waves.
The beach transformed from a local fishing spot into an international surfing destination during the 1970s, hosting numerous national championships.
The beach area maintains strong connections to surfing traditions, with multiple surf schools and regular competitions throughout the year.
Visitors can access the beach through regular bus services from downtown Florianópolis, with parking facilities available near the entrance.
The neighboring sand dunes rise to substantial heights, creating natural spaces for sandboarding activities parallel to the shoreline.
