Praia da Joaquina beach

Praia da Joaquina is a wild beach just near Florianopolis on the island of Santa Catarina. In the north end of the beach, it is usually crowded. But if you walk a little, it is always possible to find a lot of free space. The beach is not beautiful, while the waves are strong making it hard to swim. But on the other hand, there are great sand dunes nearby with good sandboarding. Shore and seabed: sand. [edit]
