Praia da Galheta, Naturist beach in Florianópolis, Brazil.
Located between Barra da Lagoa and Praia Mole, this one-kilometer stretch of fine sand sits against a backdrop of steep green hills.
The beach maintained its natural character through decades of development on Santa Catarina island, remaining accessible only by walking trails.
Praia da Galheta represents a space where naturists and regular beachgoers share the shoreline in mutual respect without mandatory clothing requirements.
Visitors need to bring water and food supplies as the beach lacks facilities, with access through a 15-minute walk from Praia Mole's northern end.
Wild orchids grow along the hillsides surrounding the beach, adding color to the preserved Atlantic Forest vegetation that shields it from view.
