Ingleses

Ingleses is a beach break on the northern part of the island with consistent characteristics but generally inconsistent swell. The break produces both left and right hand waves in the 1- to 6-foot range and works well across all tide stages. Northeast swell and southwest offshore winds create the most favorable conditions, though the western section of the beach tends to generate stronger, more shapely waves than the eastern end. The spot remains suitable for beginning surfers when swell is smaller, though it is far more crowded during peak summer months.

Access to Ingleses is straightforward for a popular beach on the island. The beach lies approximately 40 kilometers north of Florianópolis's center and can be reached by driving via the northern coastal route or by taking a local bus for around R$4.25. The neighborhood maintains good infrastructure with restaurants, bars, and board rental shops charging R$60–100 per day. Free street parking near the beach fills quickly during high season, though private lots are available for approximately R$20 per day. Entry to the beach itself is free; you pay only for specific services like chairs, umbrellas, or food.
