The epicentre of Floripa's bar and club scene. The streets around the lagoon pack in a dense mix of bars, clubs, and live music venues catering to the young crowd that descends on Florianópolis every summer. Things start slowly — drinks at a waterfront bar as the sun sets over the hills — and ramp up from midnight. The scene runs hardest from December through March when the Argentine and Brazilian summer crowds are in town; it quietens significantly outside those months but doesn't disappear entirely.
