The Florianópolis area is a popular destination for its beaches, which can also be prime surf spots in the right conditions. Some of the beaches are better for running than others. Below is our selection of the best beaches in Florianópolis for running — at least 2 km long, fairly wide, and with reliable packed sand. (Praia=Beach)
Praia Mole & Praia da Galheta. Combine these two beaches in the Lagoa area for up to 2.5 km of great beach running. Praia Mole is the more popular and easily accessible of the two beaches. There’s an 0.4 km connector path between the two beaches (a bit rocky and not easy to run).
Praia da Joaquina to Praia do Campeche. Nearly 8 km of continuous beaches, just south of Lagoa. A bit narrower, depending on tides and surf. Quality of and firmness is situational. There are spectacular dunes just behind the beach, part of Parque Natural Municipal das Dunas da Lagoa da Conceição. Challenge yourself with some running in these hilly, sandy dunes!
