The beach faces the ocean and is characterized by strong surf,
a hole covered bottom, and strong undertow, Brava's beach
escapes the calm pattern of the Island's north beaches and
attracts professional and amateur surfers from all over the
country. It also has one of the most active night scenes of
the beaches of Florianopolis, with high-end condominiums built
around it.
Brava
is surrounded by hills and the access road passes a lookout
which offers a beautiful paradise-like panoramic view of the
beach. During high season, car traffic is intense and causes
traffic jams, especially at the end of the afternoon.
The beach
has faced some sanitation problems resulting in a shortage
of freshwater in the area and some inappropriate bathing spots.
You can check The Bathing Availability Report that Guia Floripa
keeps updated according to information released periodically
by FATMA (Environmental Agency).
The area
has good options for lodging, restaurants and bars that are
mainly open during high season.

miss:
The sunrise: Brava's geographic position affords beautiful
images at dawn.
