Praia Brava BC
Praia Brava is Balneário Camboriú's surf beach, separated from the main tourist strip by a headland. The north end produces the best waves, though the local crew can be territorial about their peak. The beach offers quality waves when E/SE swells hit, and the nearby resort infrastructure means plenty of accommodation options.
