Santinho
Santinho is one of Florianópolis's most consistent beaches on the north side of the island. The beach picks up E to SE swells and produces quality peaks along its length. Ancient petroglyphs on the surrounding rocks add historical interest to the area. The nearby resort development has made it more accessible but also more crowded.
