Surfcamp e Chale Gel & Susanne (Campsite) -
Rua Manoel Alfredo Pereira, Guarda do Embau Santa Catarina Florianopolis Brazil
Driving from the north on highway Br 101, our surf camp, Guarda do Embau is situated inside the National Park of Serra do Tabuleiro. To get there, you need to drive past the exit to Florianopolis city. 35 kms south (approximately 22 miles), to your left, you will see a sign for Praia do Sonho (Dream Beach), 8 kms (5 miles) further south, you must be prepared to go on the hard shoulder to your right before crossing the highway to get to the cobblestone road that will take you to Guarda do Embau. Pay attention because the sign is very difficult to see. If you are driving at night (which I do not recommend as the road is very dangerous), watch out for the only illuminated lamp post you will see on your left past the exit to Praia do Sonho; this will be the exit to Guarda do Embau. As soon as you drive out of the highway, you will be on a cobblestone road, and on your right, next to a bar, you will find the tourist information office, which in day time, if you are lucky will be open. Continue driving down this cobblestone road and shortly after, there will be a right bend then a left bend, at this point you will be in Morretes. 3 kms (2 miles) down the road, to your right you will find the entrance to Guarda do Embau, as you turn right into this road, on your left there will be a dirt road called Rua Manoel Alfredo Pereira, (see map on our site), follow this road to the right, and on the third alleyway to your left, you will find our surfcamp site just behind a peach coloured house. There will be a gate closing this road, just open it and there will be three gates to your right; the second one is the gate to our house, and it has a bell for people who want to book accommodation; the third gate, is the entrance gate to our surf camp and it also has a bell.
Driving from the south on highway Br 101, some 30 kms (20 miles) past the exit to Garopaba, you will pass the highway patrol station. From this point onwards, you will drive past two petrol stations to your left, and some 8 km (5 miles) north, if you are lucky you will see the sign on your right. Pay a lot of attention because it will be the first exit to you right, and the road sign will be literally on the corner of the exit and it is usually hidden by the bushes. If driving at night, watch out for the only illuminated lamp post to your right after the petrol stations mentioned previously. As soon as you drive out of the highway, you will be on a cobblestone road, and on your right next to a bar, you will find the tourist information office, which in day time, if you are lucky will be open. Continue driving down this cobblestone road and shortly after, there will be a right bend then a left bend, at this point you will be in Morretes, 3 kms (2 miles) down the road, to your right you will find the entrance to Guarda do Embau.
