Beach: Galheta Zone: East
It is 20 km from the center of Florianópolis and can be reached by means of a 300 meter trail which begins at the northern end of Praia Mole. As there are no restaurants or other commercial establishments on Praia da Galheta, the beach is ideal for a public which wishes to enjoy nature at its fullest. A small spring provides fresh water for both drinking and envigorating showers. The sea is usually clear and the temperate and the waves are normally gentle. Praia da Galheta is about a kilometer long and is covered by fine white sand.The beach is bordered by steep hills covered with low bushes, orchids and a wide variety of wild flowers. There are no houses or other structures overlooking the beach. The only noise is that of waves breaking on the beach and the wind. The beach's isolation is guaranteed by a high hill which separates it from the road which circles the island. Since the 70's Galheta has been popular with naturists, although nudism is optional. Surfers also take advantage of the waves which generally occur well offshore. View location on map
