Ponta das Canas, officially part of the Cachoeira do Bom Jesus district, is a traditional neighborhood located at the northern end of Santa Catarina Island. Geographically, the neighborhood follows the edge of the beach, with houses and low-rise buildings that have easy access to a beach of approximately 2 kilometers in length.
It is the ideal place for those who like tranquility and want to rest away from the hectic routine of everyday life. The fixed population is only 3,200 inhabitants and there is a community of fishermen who live in the neighborhood, which brings a picturesque and charming air to the place. With the recent growth and structuring we see increasingly urban contours, which has encouraged new residents to settle in the region.
The strip of sand is clear and spacious and the sea is blue and calm, all this creates a perfect place for families with young children, an audience that is usually seen during high season. In the summer, young people usually enjoy playing soccer and volleyball, while children play in the sand and adults rest. Taking a walk at dusk to enjoy the sunset will be an unforgettable experience.
Other great options for nearby paradisiacal beaches are: Lagoinha do Norte, one of the favorites by Argentine tourists, and Praia Brava for those looking for good waves for surfing. To enjoy a more sophisticated atmosphere or a nightlife, a visit to Jurerê Internacional will be an excellent choice.
The neighborhood has good infrastructure, with markets, bakeries, pharmacies, bars and restaurants concentrated along Avenida Luiz Boiteux Piazza, the main access road. Other shops can be found in the nearby neighborhoods, mainly Canasvieiras and Ingleses. The center of Florianópolis is 30 km away and access is via SC 401, an avenue where you will find several options for leisure, shops and services.
For those looking to invest in a property for short-term rental, Ponta das Canas is an excellent option. Many tourists seek this region and hotels do not respond to all this demand.
