Top Active Leisure Sport in Florianopolis

Start your hike early around 7 am to beat the heat and the crowds. The sunrise views from the top are totally worth it, and you’ll have the trail mostly to yourself

Bring plenty of water and snacks! The trail can be more demanding than it looks, so trust me, you'll need the extra energy. I ran out of water too soon and wished I'd packed more.

Don't forget your camera! There are some stunning viewpoints along the way. I captured some pretty awesome shots, but I kinda wished I had a better zoom lens for those faraway views.

I suggest wearing reef shoes or sandals because the sand can be super hot, especially in the afternoon. My feet were burning by about noon, and I regretted not packing them!

If you’re planning to surf, try to hit the waves early around 7 am when the wind is calmer and the water is less crowded. I had the best time catching some great waves then!

I think sunset is magical at Mole Beach, so don’t miss it. Grab a beer, relax, and enjoy the colors, but be careful of the sandflies; they bite!

Bring your own snacks and drinks instead of buying from the kiosks. I found the prices were a bit steep, and packing a picnic is way more fun!

Beware of the tides, as they can change quickly. I suggest checking a tide chart ahead of time, so you can enjoy the beach without worrying about getting stranded!
