A good Florianópolis itinerary takes 4 days, one per region of the island: Lagoa da Conceição and Joaquina on the first, the north on the second, the Azorean south on the third, and the east-coast beaches on the fourth. The full first day is below, stop by stop.

4 daysDecember to March for beach weather; March and April stay warm with a much emptier island.Lagoa da Conceição or Centro

Day 1 — Lagoa da Conceição and Joaquina, stop by stop

  1. Lagoa da Conceição viewpoint

    Start with the postcard: the whole lagoon seen from above, still in morning light.

  2. Centrinho da Lagoa

    Coffee and lunch in the island's bohemian heart, among small shops and restaurants.

  3. Avenida das Rendeiras

    The lagoon shore where bobbin-lace makers still work on the sidewalk — living Azorean tradition.

  4. Joaquina Beach

    An open-sea afternoon at the beach that raised generations of Brazilian surfers.

  5. Joaquina dunes

    Close the day with sandboarding, or just the sunset from the top of the dunes.

The other days, in brief

Day 2North of the island

Jurerê, Praia do Forte, and the São José da Ponta Grossa fortress, with calm sea all day.

Day 3Ribeirão da Ilha

The Azorean south: historic houses, mirror-flat sea, and Brazil's freshest oysters.

Day 4East of the island

Barra da Lagoa and the trail to Galheta Beach, closing with the open sea of the east coast.

This is a generic cut of Floripa. The island changes a lot with season, pace, and interests — Voynara builds your version in minutes.
