Ribeirão da Ilha (Santa Catarina)

Ribeirão da Ilha is a charming and historic district in the south of Florianópolis (Ilha de Santa Catarina), Santa Catarina, Brazil. 
It is one of the city's oldest settlements, founded in the 18th century by Azorean (Portuguese) immigrants. 
It retains a quiet, bucolic atmosphere with colorful colonial houses, traditional architecture, narrow streets, and a relaxed coastal feel. 

Beaches: Small, calm coves with coarse sand at Baía Sul (ideal for relaxation, not for big waves). 
Culture: Strong Azorean influences, with historic buildings, the Igreja Nossa Senhora da Lapa do Ribeirão and a lively praça. 
Attractions: Peaceful walks, good restaurants serving local and seafood dishes, and a bucolic landscape about 20-22 km from the center of Floripa. 

It is a perfect place for those looking for authenticity, history, and tranquility, away from the busy tourist beaches. 
Highly recommended for a day trip!
