I traveled around on the island Florianopolis and visited many beaches. I stayed in Barra da Lagoa and lived in a hostel where each room had a small place outside with a hammock. Breakfast was delivered to the door every morning in a basket.
Here follows several pictures of the beaches close to where I was staying. There was one really long beach, where most people went. Well, most people went to the end closest to the village, where it therefore was packed with people. It was almost empty further away on the same beach.
The girl in the picture above walked along the beach and sold barbecued cheese. The guy below had a bigger business where he sold beverages and nice fruit. I saw some people drinking chimarrão on the beach, which seemed a bit strange to me as I would not want to drink hot tea in such hot weather.
There was also a small trail that led to the beaches you can see below.
I heard people saying that Leonardo DiCaprio celebrated New Year's Eve in the restaurant/club below. I don't know if it's true that he was there, but he did have a Brazilian girlfriend a few years ago. I also heard that it cost around £400 to celebrate New Year's Eve there. That price was for guys, women only paid around half of that apparently.
The statue above was looking out over Mole beach, which was also known as the beach of the beautiful people. I found the fish below laying on a beach (not the beach of the beautiful people though).
If you would get a tattoo or a piercing, would you go to a place called "House of pain"?
The guy above was fishing in a canal close to Barra da Lagoa. Below is a view of the village.
If you have an old toilet and don't know what to do with it, you can find a suggestion below.
What were you doing on the 2nd of January this year? Here you can see what I was doing (in the picture above, that is...). Below is a picture of a guy showing the beach fashion in Brazil. Most Brazilians seem to think that kilts are very gay, but what do you think of their "traditional" clothes? Maybe I should also add that most women were wearing way less fabric than this guy was, but to see that you have to come here and visit...

Really nice pictures. :)
Beaches do look good. What sort of temperatures were the water and the air?
Were you wind-surfing? Are you any good?
Thank you!
It was really nice. I don't know what temperature it was, but it was really warm.
No, I was not wind-surfing. I have actually never even tried it. I definitely want to try surfing some time though. It might be difficult to learn, but it should be cool.
