Florianópolis is an island of beaches, and the queer crowd has always gathered at Praia Mole, where the surf and the sunbathers both take the afternoon seriously. Ride up to Lagoa da Conceição for a late lunch, then watch the sun set over the lagoon from the dunes. In the evening, head into the Centro for Blues Velvet, a bar that has been a safe space for queer folks for years.
In February, Carnival brings drag shows and street blocos across the island. Any other weekend, a beach day at Praia Mole is the whole plan.
