Joaquina Dunes
Dunas da Joaquina
Vast white dunes between the lagoon and the sea, where you can rent a sandboard and slide down from the top. A signature Florianópolis experience.
The dunes are part of the Conceição Lagoon Dunes Natural Park. Some rise dozens of meters high. Roadside stalls rent sandboards, usually charged by the hour, and instructors are available. From the top, one side overlooks the lagoon and the other the Atlantic, and the light at sunset is stunning. The sand can be scorching during the day, so go early in the morning or late in the afternoon, wear shoes and bring water. After rain the sand is damp and unsuitable for sliding. Located along the road to Praia da Joaquina.
