Considered
one of the most traditional fishing villages on the
Island, Pantano do Sul has a strip of fine, white
sand 2.4 km long. Located 31 kilometers from downtown
Florianópolis, the beach has a calm sea, especially
on the north side. Going southward, near Açores
beach, the sea becomes rougher, with conditions that
favor surfing. The spot is also known for its archaeological
wealth, as it contains remains of one of the oldest
sambaquis (primitive cemeteries) discovered on the
Island.
Because of its fishing tradition, Pântano do
Sul is a good place for dining, with good restaurants
that serve dishes based on fish and seafood. It is
also possible to take up lodging in the vicinity,
as the region has a number of inns.
Don't
Miss:
- The traditional Arante's bar: in addition to its
delicious menu it exhibits much of the Island's cultural
identity.
