All of this sits inside preserved coastal Atlantic Forest, and much of it starts on foot from the beach. The distances are short, but almost none of these trails offer continuous shade or water along the way.

Ibiraquera · 25 min · 4.8★
A worthwhile detour. The view from the dunes towards Ibirahill is as beautiful as the reverse. Sandboards and skibundas available on site if you fancy testing your balance.
Alugue um sandboard e treine o equilíbrio. O visual das dunas já vale o passeio.See details
Praia do Rosa · 18 Min · 4.8★
Park at Praia do Rosa Norte and follow a short trail through the headland. From there, another quick path leads to this natural wonder — saltwater pools formed by rock, clear and still.
Estacione no Rosa Norte e siga a trilha curta pelo costão.See details
Imbituba · 34 Min · 4.9★
Praia d'água remains entirely untouched, reached only on foot via an easy trail. It's also an excellent surf spot during Tainha season or when the popular breaks get crowded.
Acesso por uma trilha fácil. Na época da Tainha, vira point de surf.See details
Imbituba · 20 min · 4.9★
One of the few beaches still genuinely untouched — partly because you can't drive in. Park at Praia do Ouvidor and follow a clearly signed 15-minute trail. Easy, beautiful, worth it.
15 minutos de caminhada, mas com uma bela praia ao chegar.See details
Praia do Luz · 5 min · 4.9★
A highly recommended walk. The trail begins on the northern headland of Praia do Luz, climbs to the Luz lookout, and ends at Praia do Rosa Sul. Easy to moderate, 25 minutes each way, with views that more than justify the effort.
