Off The Beaten Path: campeche beach
  • Tip Rating:
  • A praia do Campeche situa-se ao Sul da Ilha de Santa Catarina, com uma distância de aproximadamente 15 Km do centro de Florianópolis.
    uma onda rara que quebra sobre um fundo de areia com características de Point Break.
    Por ser longa e com várias sessões de manobras e tubos, a onda do Campeche possui qualidade Internacional.

    Seu nome, que é o mesmo da Ilha em frente, tem 2 versões: uma originada de uma árvore, o Pau-Campeche de madeira corante empregada em tinturaria. A outra versão aponta o nome como uma união das expressões francesas "camp" (campo) e "pêche" (peixe), devido ao campo de pouso que havia entre 1926 a 1939 e que era utilizado pelo escritor e aviador francês Saint Exupery quando fazia escala na rota do correio francês.

    Off The Beaten Path: campeche east coast
  • Tip Rating:
  • Com cinco quilômetros de areia branca, limpa e de mar agitado, a praia do Campeche é considerada a Jefrey's Bay da Ilha de Santa Catarina, por suas direitas que parecem não ter fim em dia de ondulação de sul. Mas para quem não entende nada de surf, a praia também oferece outras atrações. A beleza paradisíaca da Ilha do Campeche, por exemplo, localizada em frente à praia, um joguinho de futebol no antigo campo de aviação (Saint Exupery), ou mesmo uma pesca de arremesso são um boa alternativa de lazer. À noite Campeche também não deixa a desejar.

    Off The Beaten Path: campeche fun
  • Tip Rating:
  • Praia do Campeche

    The same beach as Joaquina, but further south. The Praia do Campeche itself it is located in front of the Campeche Island, the road leaves you directly there. When it is breaking that’s the place to be. Needs big or good size S swells and W wind. Works usually during the winter on the coldest days. Some surfers compare it to Jeffrey’s Bay. It is for sure one of the Brazil’s best wave. The wage is a right which creates long rides, with hollow sections. Awesome even to watch.
    When it is breaking always crowded, but there’s always one for you. Strong riptides, creating long paddles. Close to this spot there’s another good one called Riozinho (Small Creek). It creates hollow , powerful waves, with barrels and barrels. It is located north from the Campeche main entrance, close to a small sports gymn. Ask locals. With S,SE swell hollow rigths, with E swell hollow lefts. Best winds W or really light NE.

    Off The Beaten Path: lambe lambe beach
  • Tip Rating:
  • Lambe Lambe Beach

    Another spot which breaks with big E swells. It is a difficult place to find, so make local inquiry close to Ponta das Canas. It is located in a rock point somewhere in the coast. It is usually bigger than Ponta das Canas e Praia do Forte. Low tide is better.

    Off The Beaten Path: Praia do Moçambique
  • Tip Rating:
  • A 14 km beach all preserved with no buildings or commodities, a quiet , uncrowded place with powerful, tubular waves, both lefts and rights. Choose a peak and surf by yourself. The best swell is E,SE with light NE wind or W. If the wind is light S you can surf on a spot called Camping da Barra ( ask locals about ) with handle some waves with this kind of wind. The right side of Moçambique is called Barra da Lagoa, a place that works only with big swells, generally crowded with kids and longboarders.
