The place Pântano do Sul

The place Pântano do Sul is located on the extreme south of the island of Santa Catarina. Its long beach has very fine sand and the place itself shows the typical image of an old traditional fishing settlement of Florianópolis. There are several restaurants that specialize in seafood.

The fish restaurant “Bar do Arante” by José Arante, which has existed since 1958, is known far beyond the island's borders. From the ceiling there are tens of thousands of messages and declarations of love that travelers left there on small pieces of paper.
