A tip I have about this place
Florianopolis is great! I recommend you make accomidations somewhere for about 2-3 days and spend that time finding somewhere else to stay. Booking online is so much more expensive than once you get there… Campeche beach is quiet and fun, Lagoa Connection has a bus station that makes it easy to go everywhere so I like it. Praia Mole is a fun surfer beach with drinks and food. I live in floripa 3 months every year (summer)

The Ilha de Santa Catarina, aka Florianópolis, is known throughout Brazil for its miles and miles of gorgeous beaches, excellent seafood, and traditional Azorean fishing villages. Figuring out the names may be the only complicated part of a visit to this most laid-back of Brazilian beach destinations. Florianópolis, the city, is the capital of the state of Santa Catarina. Florianópolis is also located on the island of Santa Catarina. Island and city together are usually just referred to as Florianópolis, which people often then shorten to Floripa. Confused? Don't worry, it's the beaches that matter.
