the beach is really crowded on hollidays and not very clean. Praia do Rosa in Imbituba is a much better family destination
Ótima opção naquela região para conhecer e passar o dia. Tem uma bela paisagem e é ótima para ir com a família.
I am a senior citizen and I grew up going for a week on vacation in Garopaba with my family.Garopaba was a fish village that grew in a beach town, keeping a number of fishermen among its population and its old little village with a church and some building from Colonial Brazil. It developed enough to attracted not only people from the Brazilian state where it is located, Santa Catarina, but also attracting people from other Brazilian states, specially a lot of gauchos, the inhabitants of the neighbouring state of Rio Grande do Sul. The area is a natural reserve for birds and from July to december it is possible to observe white whales in the cost. During summer vacation time in Brazil (December to March) the population of Garopaba more than double and all bars, shops, beach attraction, malls and restaurants are full of sun-tanned people. At the beach, as happened in most Brazilian beaches, all kinds of food are available through people who sell them while you are relaxing at your beach chair. Small trolleys with BBQ, drinks, cocktails, coconut water, ice cream, typical Brazilian snacks, corn cob, grilled cheese, you name it.To stay most options are small bread and breakfast places, called in Brazil "pousadas", once the city has only one big hotel. During the weekends, the city and beach area is packed and there are many water-sports in the city and in the beaches nearby. At Christmas eve and New's Year eve, even more people gathered there. In line with other cities in Brazil, there area shows and fireworks at the beach in the last night of the year, when crowds wait for the New Year arrived, all dressed in white clothes and bringing their champagne to celebrate the change.I'm a fan. Keeping its cosiness and having already many resources, I think that Garopaba has a lot to offer for a relaxing and interesting vacation time.
Essa praia nao tem um acesso muito fácil, e acgo que isso a torna ainda melhor. Ela possui uma natureza quase intocada e uma agua extremamente transparente! Sou apaixonada por esta praia e recomendo a quem gosta de natureza e tranquilidade!
Cada vez que voltamos a Garopaba nos surpreendemos como a cidade vem crescendo. Com opções de boas lojas, pousadas, restaurantes e até mesmo de novas casas e condominios. Com mais opções ela mantém as características de uma ótima praia com infraestrutura ao redor.
Foi nosso dia de despedida de garopaba e teve muito sol foi, uma despedida muito boa. Praia linda, tranquila,muito boa
O canto norte é menos movimentado e com água bem limpa, sendo possível ver peixinhos em volta de nossos pés. Uma delícia!
Crowded but with the right people. Lots of things to buy, like clothes, food, drinks, etc. I prefer to seat next to Mormaii or even further away from the center.
Nos resulto un lugar muy tranquilo, seguro y familiar, ofrece unas playas muy lindas con aguas calentitas, cristalinas y verdosas, con arenas claras.tiene un centro para recorrer a pie disfrutando de sus locales comerciales. es muy linda y pintoresca la parte historica de esta ciudad, para recorrer con tiempo y conocer hay muy buenos lugares de abastecimiento, y muchas actividades para hacer, buen viaje!!
Nos gustó mucho el mar pero en la playa había mucha gente y negocios, de todas formas pasamos un lindo momento en la ciudad, estábamos de paso con amigos y el lugar es más familiar.
