I have put together five photo albums from our recent trip to Florianópolis. They can be seen at my Flickr page.
The first album is dedicated to the north of the island, with photos of Santo Antônio de Lisboa, the Projeto Tamar in Barra da Lagoa, and the beaches of Jurerê, Canasvieiras, Ingleses, Brava and Santinho.
The second album is dedicated to the centre and the Lagoa da Conceição, with photos of the Mercado Municipal, of the Lagoa and of the Mole beach.
The third album is dedicated to the south of the island, with photos of Armação, Ribeirão da Ilha and Pântano do Sul.
The fourth álbum is dedicated to the Campeche beach and the idyllic Campeche island.
An the fifth and final album is dedicated to the Joaquina dunes and its sandboard artists.
Me and my friend are traveling to Brazil in November and will be staying in Floripa for 2 nights. We have looked at a few places, but there is one place that we think is good. Could you maybe give me some info on the places. We are thinking of places near Joaquina or near Praia Mole. The place that we have heard of is Pousada da Giulia and is located nearby the “Centrinho da Lagoa” so any info would be great. We are on a budget, but anything clean, frienly or in that line.
Douw, I had a look at the pousada’s website and is located in a village in the center of the island. It’s a place full of bars and restaurants. I can’t vouch for how quiet your rooms will be, but if you are looking for a night out it’s a good location. Likewise, the Lagoa is a perfect place as it is in the centre of the island and from there you can go to the places you mentioned (Joaquina and Praia Mole are a short drive/bus ride away).
A fascinating and energetic mix of the traditional and the very modern, Bangkok is a microcosm of Thailand and an endlessly diverting introduction to this fascinating country. The intoxicating sights and sounds of Bangkok are all around you when you stay at one of our hotels in Bangkok.
You’re never short of things to see or do in London. From theatre, musicals and museums to shopping, urban greenery and sheer monumentality, London does it bigger and better, and if you need a place to stay in the nation’s capital, Marriott has London hotels to suit you.
New York is on everyone’s travel wish-list, and if you’re looking for a place to stay when you visit the Big Apple, Marriott has dozens of New York hotels all across the city and beyond. If New York is your destination, book your New York hotel online with Marriott.
In the middle of the Nevada desert, neon-lit Las Vegas is a city like no other, and when you book your stay at one of Marriott's Las Vegas hotels, you can enjoy the full, glitzy spectacle of this 24-hour city.
From Monterrey to Cancun, you can be sure of a warm welcome and first-class service when you stay at one of Marriott's Mexico hotels. The historic home of the Aztecs, chocolate and tequila, Mexico is a vast and diverse country with something for everyone.

Brazilian Real Exchange Rate
It’s a far cry from the Maquengue in Costa Rica but it’s hard to resist the visual impact of Brazil. Must add to my list of travel spots.
Thanks for the wonderful photos.
Frank Moessa
You’re welcome, Frank. I’m sure Costa Rica is full of incredible colours too!
i never thought that you can also do sand boarding here which is usually done in South Africa
My understanding is that sandboarding was born was actually born in Florianópolis and then exported to other places.
I have written about Florianópolis recently, it is really an amazing place. Thanks for the post with your emotions about it
Great work done!
Thanks Olga! Tried to find your post on Florianópolis but couldn’t find it.

Do you have any questions on Florianópolis? I’m answering them at Destination: Florianópolis.
If you want a detailed description of all the different parts of the island, have a look at Florianópolis North: what to do and where to go, Florianópolis Centre-Lagoa: what to do and where to go and Florianópolis South: what to do and where to go.
