Florianópolis spreads across an island of surf beaches, lagoons and fishing villages off Brazil's southern coast. One side is all lively sand and nightlife, the other keeps its Azorean roots in quiet stone chapels and oyster bars along the water. Pick a beach for the morning and a lagoon for the evening, and let the island set the tempo!

When to go

Summer from December to March is warm and busy, with the best swimming and the biggest crowds along the popular beaches. The shoulder months of April, May, October and November are quieter and still pleasant, with fewer people and softer prices. Winter from June to August is cool and better suited to walks and town life than to the water.

Getting there from Quebec City and Montreal

From Québec City or Montréal you will connect through a US hub and then a Brazilian gateway such as São Paulo before the short flight to Florianópolis. Overnight crossings are standard, so plan on a full travel day with at least two changes. The airport sits close to the south of the island, handy for the beach districts.

What to see and do

Praia Mole and Praia da Joaquina, two of the island's classic surf beaches
Lagoa da Conceição, the lagoon ringed by bars and viewpoints
Santo Antônio de Lisboa, an old Azorean fishing village
Ilha do Campeche, a protected island with clear water and short trails

Good to know before you go

Uber and 99 are the easiest way around the island, with InDrive as another option, and they save you the long waits for buses between beaches. The currency is the Brazilian real, and cards are widely accepted, though small beach kiosks may prefer cash. Portuguese is the language, not Spanish, and locals are called manezinhos for their island dialect. Distances between beaches are longer than they look, so plan your days around one or two areas.

Entry requirements and health

e-Visa required

You'll need a visa for this one, but the whole thing is done online before you go. Apply a little ahead of your trip and travel with the approval in hand.

Vaccines and health

Many travellers get vaccinated against hepatitis A and typhoid, which spread through food and water. Yellow fever vaccination is recommended for some areas, and it's worth keeping the certificate handy. Malaria is present in some areas, so ask a clinic whether antimalarials make sense for your route.
