Balneário Camboriú is a city of beautiful contrasts...
Balneário Camboriú county meets in a few minutes the modern structure of a touristic spot in its central beach, ( a bay of 6 kilometers of tall buildings, night life, shopping centers and many hotels) with the most beautiful natural landscapes, virgins beaches, amazing sights and the hospitality of the people (like in all south Beaches)
Camboriú river : The southern part of the central beach ends up in Camboriú River . A small port meeting native fisherman with fancy boats, helicopter rides, pubs, discos and well served restaurants. A modern Marina for more then 600 boats is presently being built www.marinatedesco.com.br
The “bondinho” Here, at the end of the beach: “barra sul” you will find the only cable air cab in the world connecting two different beaches! www.unipraias.com.br constructed with the most modern technology, this spectacular ride will take to Laranjeiras Beach with a “pit stop” in the top of the mountain, for sight seeing, walks in the forest, and Arborist practice Don´t miss it !!!
The other side of the coin : So, once you cross the river, either by air, sea or land, no more tall buildings are allowed. Interpraias road is a 16 km. touristy road, innagurated in 2000 and probably has the “best collection” of beaches of Santa Catarina State, as they follow:
Laranjeiras Beach : Calm waters, “Banana boat” restaurants in the sand, “pirates boats” for rides www.barcopirata.com.br and other entertainments..
Taquarinhas Beach : The smallest one, the untouched one: No constructions are yet built in this paradise beach. I heard rumors that a big company bought it to make a eco-resort..
Taquaras beach : Similar to the last one, biggest, no less beautiful, and with some summer residences and small village.
Praia do Pinho : Most famous nudist beach in Brazil : one of the first ones to become officially allowed for the naturism and nudism practice. Big parties in carnival, although still Poor budget structure www.praiadopinho.com.br
Praia do Estaleiro : Exclusive and coveted, Rustic and preserved Estaleiro is today an exclusive place, home of many Europeans who decided to leave from big cities. Considered by environmental laws a preserved area, Estaleiro is the Estaleiro Beach ( praia do Estaleiro) is the starting line for eco tourism and adventure activities. Strategically located: since is at the same time in between the NATURAL GREEN MOUNTAINS and the PURE BLUE OCEAN . I has 1500 meters of soft sand, a natural, charming and rustic touch.
Deep green mountains surrounding Estaleiro beach, protect the whole place, as faithful guardians of a beautiful natural treasure.
A pirates tale… According to an old story, centuries ago, Estaleiro was chosen by ferocious pirates chased by Portuguese navy, to hide a valuable treasure. This old tale took the sleep of many adventurers, and thought no vestiges of any buried treasure have ever been found until now… But… it is also certain that anyone that has raised their eyes and looked the smooth sand that surround the deep blue ocean, will surely never forget the treasure that nature placed in front our eyes... Certainly a more valuable and eternal treasure than the one our legendary pirates could ever have hidden...
A good place to stay : “Pousada Estaleiro village” a complex of cabins, where nature was fully respected, run by a family who left their professional life to create a different way of living: www.estaleirovillage.com (English, Spanish, French, Italian spoken) you will certainly find here interesting people from all abroad and also make good friends.
