Distance and timing basis
The recorded total and the leg detail need reconciliation. Inspect the leg notes before using this record for timing or navigation. Stops, delays, approach and any separate return travel add time. Basis: producer-declared routed record.
Reading history stays on this device. My road watch requires a separate selection; opening it does not subscribe this ride.
Distance and riding time are measured on the routed road. Check local closures and conditions before you ride.

Waypoint introductions and full write-ups
1. Florianópolis
Florianópolis is mostly an island, and the island has more beaches than anybody can reasonably visit. The city sits on and around Santa Catarina Island, joined to the mainland by bridges, among them the Hercílio Luz, a steel suspension bridge opened in 1926 that is the city's symbol and now closed to vehicles. About four hundred thousand people live here, in a mix of high-rise centre, lagoon-side suburbs and old fishing villages, and the local nickname, Magic Island, comes from its mix of surf, forest and the folklore of the early Azorean settlers.

Recorded stop-planning note
May refer to an earlier itinerary; verify against your selected route before riding.
Planning note
Florianópolis sits at 0 km, early in the day. Next is Praia do Rosa.
2. Praia do Rosa
Praia do Rosa is a curve of sand backed by green hills, a lagoon and a handful of wooden houses, and it has attracted surfers, artists and travellers for decades. It lies in the municipality of Imbituba on the southern coast of Santa Catarina, about thirteen kilometres from the town, and it has resisted the high-rise development you see farther north. The beach faces the open Atlantic, so waves roll in steadily and attract surfers, while a headland at one end makes a viewpoint over the coast.
