Florianopolis, Brazil
The best time to visit: December to April
There are more than 40 beaches in Florianopolis, with a total length of about 1,500 km. The best surf destinations are around the island's capital, Santa Catarina. Because of the unique climatic conditions, there are waves all year round, and the bright tropical beauty and a wide variety of surf breaks make the coast quite a claim one of the best places to surf in the world.
Beginners usually surf at Barra da Lagoa. There are no strong waves to navigate, and you can choose between right and left-hand breaks. The beaches of Praia Mole and Praia da Joaquina, where the waves are higher and less predictable due to the frequent changes in the wind, are more suitable for professionals.
