User reviews
"I have to say, Joaquina Beach in Florianópolis is absolutely stunning! The water was the perfect temperature and the waves were just right for surfing. And the color of the water? It was breathtaking! Plus, there are some great restaurants nearby that serve delicious drinks either on the sand or in the restaurant. Definitely worth a visit, just make sure to bring sunscreen!"

"The beach is alright, but it's quite crowded. If that's your thing, then it might be a good fit for you. The dunes in the background are a nice touch and if you climb up them, you'll be rewarded with a beautiful view of the beach. Additionally, the rocks on the left side of the beach are worth exploring."
