YouTubeWatch on YouTube CustomizeCustomize this spot

Praia do Rosa is one of the most beautiful beaches in Santa Catarina, a crescent-shaped bay framed by green hills that has become a favorite for eco-tourists and surfers alike. The wave produces powerful lefts on solid S swells, with the south end of the beach offering the most consistent peaks. The town has maintained its bohemian charm despite growing popularity, with excellent restaurants and a laid-back atmosphere. Right whale watching is a bonus in winter months.
