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.
