It is one of the beaches in the East of the island of Florianopolis. Access by bus is somewhat complex, two least are transfers. Florianopolis has traffic all the time and access to Praia Mole are limited, just two, so it takes approximately 2 hours get and other 2 hours to return by bus. A über until the place comes out less than 60 real which is enough! and a taxi even more 70 to 80 reais. The beach has spectacular views, is more rugged than any of the beaches in the North of the island. It is very well maintained. Little busy and important wave. It is visited by many surfers. While children had is not a very good place for small children. There are lifeguards on the coast and excellent gastronomy. It is not expensive to buy food or rent umbrellas or folding chairs. It is worth visiting it because it is different but preferably in their own car.

Praia com visual incrível, porém o mar é agitado. O clima é muito bom, para quem for para Floripa não pode deixar de conhecer.

Beach with amazing visual, but the sea is agitated. The climate is very good, for those who go to Floripa cannot fail to meet.

Ótima praia para a prática do surf, sugiro deixar o carro em estacionamentos que dêem acesso a banheiros e duchas. As ondas lá são mais pesadas "quebra coco", indicado pra quem tem um surf mais intermediário. Paisagem do lugar é linda.

Great beach for surfing, I suggest leaving your car in parking lots that give access to bathrooms and showers. The waves there are heavier "coco", indicated for those who have a surfing more intermediary. The place is beautiful.
