Moçambique
Moçambique is Florianópolis's longest beach and one of its most consistent, a sprawling stretch of sand that picks up any swell angle from E to SE. The beach is known for producing hollow barrels along its length, with multiple peaks offering plenty of space to spread out even on crowded days. The waves here are less powerful than Joaquina but more user-friendly, making it a favorite for both intermediate surfers and experienced locals looking for fun sessions.
