Below is a map containing additional information on some of Florianopolis ' most popular beaches.

Leave it to Nexus to take care of everything you'll need to make your time with us in Florianopolis the surf vacation of a lifetime. From personalized airport pickup (a Nexus host will greet you at the gate), transportation (both to and from day and night time activities with our Nexus guides, as well as your own rental car so that you can be independent and explore the island on your own should you choose to do so), daily guided surf excursions or lessons (depending on your ability level) to the best surf locations in and around Florianopolis, breakfast service delivered to your residence daily, guided VIP nightlife, access to massage therapy, diversions and extreme sport adventures, local cell phone use to help you stay in touch, city tours, cultural excursions and more.

Safety: Not only will you be safe in the water with our highly trained and professional surf guides, who know exactly where to take you to maximize your surf experience based on your level of surf expertise, you'll also be safe outside the water as well. Florianopolis is as safe a place as they come. While the largest cities of Brazil, such as Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo, are plagued by crime and have received plenty of negative press as a result, Florianopolis is the capital of Santa Catarina, one of the richest states in Brazil, and there is virtually no crime on the island. People here leave their doors unlocked, kids play in the streets and residents hitchhike (and get picked up!) regularly because it's that safe. Brazilians as a whole are incredibly friendly and are quick to open their arms to foreign tourists, so bring a positive attitude and a healthy dose of curiosity and your Nexus Brazil Surf Experience™ will include not only the waves and time of your life, but most likely some new friendships that will themselves last a lifetime.
