Lagoa do Peri, located in the heart of the South of the Island (Sul da Ilha), is not just a peaceful refuge; it is a true example of environmental excellence.
By receiving the international Blue Flag seal recognition for the tenth time, the "prainha" (small beach) of Lagoa do Peri reaffirms its status as one of the safest and cleanest destinations in Brazil for ecotourism and connection with nature.
If you are looking for a perfect place to escape the hustle, enjoy invigorating hikes, or practice Stand Up Paddle (SUP) and kayaking in calm waters, this is your invitation to visit a Natural Monument that is a treasure of Florianópolis.
What Does the Blue Flag Seal Mean?
The Blue Flag is not just a trophy, but the highest global award dedicated to the sustainable management of beaches, marinas, and boats. It is granted by the Foundation for Environmental Education (FEE) and takes into account 38 strict criteria that go far beyond simple beach cleanliness.
The 4 pillars of evaluation include:
Water Quality: Constant monitoring and absence of pollutants, ensuring the water is excellent for swimming and paddling;
Environmental Management: Maintaining cleanliness, proper waste collection, and protection of sensitive habitats (such as the restinga and the forest);
Safety and Services: Presence of lifeguards, first aid equipment, clear signage, and adequate access;
Environmental Education: Carrying out educational activities for the public, promoting awareness.
Receiving this seal for 10 consecutive years is the recognition of the constant conservation work done in Florianópolis.
Why is Lagoa do Peri a Paradise for Ecotourists?
Lagoa do Peri is the largest freshwater lake on the Santa Catarina coast, and its excellence certification brings direct benefits to your adventure and leisure experience:
Fresh and Safe Water: Water quality is verified weekly. Being fresh and generally calm water, it is ideal for learning and practicing SUP and Kayak, offering a more relaxing experience than the open sea;
Impeccable Trails: Inserted in a Municipal Natural Monument (MONA), the area is protected and features very well-maintained trails (like the one leading to Cachoeira da Gurita!), which cross the exuberant Atlantic Forest;
Peaceful Environment: It is a perfect destination for families and for those who wish to slow down, have a picnic, and simply listen to the sound of nature — exactly what Adventure in Floripa preaches.
