Camboriu Beach: Tons of Fun in the Brazilian Sun

Camboriu Beach (Balneário Camboriú), Brazil is nestled along the Atlantic coast in the State of Santa Catarina. Camboriu has become the biggest Brazilian tourist region south of Sao Paulo, hosting more than one million Brazilian and foreign tourists every year. The region's history dates back to 1592 as a Spanish settlement. The Portuguese took control in 1675, and soon large numbers of immigrants from Italy, Germany, Poland, and other European countries began arriving. The beautiful natural surroundings will please any vacationer looking for outdoor activities. A day's itinerary in Camboriu can include swimming, fishing, bird watching, kayaking, hiking, scuba diving, surfing, horseback riding, or just sitting on a beautiful beach.

The main reason people flock to Camboriu is for the beaches. Balneário Camboriú, the main beach in town, twists and turns for miles, backed by high rise buildings, restaurants, and boutiques. All manner of watersports and beach related activities are available. You can rent jet skis, go parasailing, paddle around in canoes and kayaks, rent boogie boards, join in a volleyball game, or just spend time working on your tan. If you like your tanning time far from the madding crowds, head south about 11 miles to the relatively uninhabited Estaleiro Beach. The clean water and calm waves make this a great spot for an afternoon dip, or to try your hand at surf fishing. Just past Estaleiro is Estaleirinho Beach, another less-populated stretch of sand that is great for watching Nature at her most undisturbed.

Another great reason for visiting Camboriu Beach is for the culture and active nightlife. The street that parallels the beach offers outdoor bars, restaurants, dance clubs, and other street-side eateries. The little ones will appreciate a visit to the zoo located in Cyro Gevaerd Park. The animals on display highlight many of the species found in a Brazilian rain forest. A popular pastime is taking a ride on the cable car that goes from the upper portion of town to the beach, stopping for your favorite beverage along the route.

The Atlantic Ocean provides a natural playground for anyone remotely interested in aquatic fun. Scuba diving fans will want to make a beeline for the Arvoredo Biological Reserve, a group of islands located between Porto Belo and Florianópolis. The Reserve is at the center where the icy waters of the Falklands Current meet the warm waters of the Brazil Current, producing a special mixture of marine life. Anglers have long known about the waters off of Camboriu as a sports fishing paradise. The waters are great for landing sailfish, mackerel, marlin, and tuna. There are also boats available for hire if you just want to take a moonlight cruise along the coast, or getting your friends together for a party boat excursion.

Camboriu Beach can serve as a jumping off point for other Santa Catarina attractions. Kids of all ages will appreciate a trip to Beto Carrero World, located in Penha. It is the 5th largest theme park in the world, with over 200 rides and attractions. Take a day trip and head south to Florianópolis, the capital of Santa Catarina, located on Santa Catarina Island. Head inland and go rafting in the rapids of the Itajaí-Açu River. Eco-tourists can spend their time investigating the caves in Botuvera. However you choose to spend your Brazilian vacation, you could not have made a better choice than Camboriu Beach.
