When to go to Florianópolis?
An island city with surf on one side and a lagoon in the middle: Praia Mole and Joaquina take the swell and the boards, while quieter Lagoinha do Leste has to be walked to. Lagoa da Conceição is calmer water ringed by hills and seafood restaurants. In town, the public market and the old centre keep the Azorean thread, and the Hercílio Luz bridge links the island to the mainland.
