There are two sections of this run. Start at the Dundes de Lago (just across the bridge from the center), and run on the path along the Av. das Rendeiras for ~2 km to the end. Retrace your steps, and then run south of the bridge on the path/sidewalk alongside R. Ver. Osni Ortiga. This section is 2.5 km, before the road turns inland. The first 0.5 km of this section are a bit away from the water, but the rest is alongside the lagoon, with great views.

The waterfront path accessible from the center of Florianópolis is the signature run in the city. Paved, dedicated pathways run along Baía Norte for up to 9 km. Wonderful views of the water & surrounding mountains.
Our 'runseeing' tour of Florianópolis featuring lots of elements --pedestrianized streets in the central commercial zone, scenic colonial architecture, a suspension bridge, and two running tracks! Overall, the route is 8 km, with shorter & longer options.
A short but scenic run along the waterfront in São José, a city directly across from Florianópolis and considered part of the greater metro area. A brick-surfaced wide sidewalk & cycle path runs along along São José Bay, featuring nice water views.
