Awaiting Your Return From Shore

 Florianopolis was founded in 1726 by immigrants from the Azores, along with German and Italian settlers. With a population of around 370,000 it is the capital of the State of Santa Catarina and a port of call for coastal shipping. Located on Santa Catarina Island, which is joined to the mainland by three bridges, the late-19th century pastel-colored, stuccoed buildings still recall faint “old world” images. 

Shopping
Good shopping can be found in Florianopolis on “Felipe Schmidt,” an all-pedestrian street. Jurere Beach Resort features an Open-Air Shopping Left that is accessible from the jetty via a complimentary shopping shuttle by minivans offered by the merchants. Best items to shop for: local handicrafts and resort wear.

Cuisine
Great seafood dishes are the specialty here at the resorts’ restaurants. More rustic eateries can be found at the Municipal Market, where especially the Pirão Restaurant is known for good seafood.
