Top Nature in Florianopolis

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!

Check out the playground areas! They are super fun and well-maintained. I think kids of all ages can have a blast there.

My advice is to bring a camera! The views and nature are beautiful, and you'll regret not capturing the moments when you look back at your trip later.

Wear good walking shoes! The trails can be a bit uneven, and I slipped a couple of times because I wore sandals that weren't the best for hiking.

I highly recommend getting to Luz Park early in the morning, around 8 AM, to avoid the crowds and enjoy the peaceful atmosphere before it gets busy. It's a great time for taking photos too!

My advice is to wear comfortable shoes since the park covers a lot of ground. I wore flip-flops and regretted it after several hours of walking around.

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!
