Barra da Lagoa
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Barra da Lagoa is a small district of the city of Florianópolis. It is situated at the mouth of a tidewater channel flows either in or out of the Islands sizable lagoon(lagoa). This tidewater channel is at the end of a long sweeping beach called praia de Moçambique that is a popular destination. Many people stay there because its less costly than the nearby Lagoa da Conceição. This is because an extra bus connection is required. There are several points of interest of which I will tick off and allow others to fill in the details.
- There is foot bridge across the tidewater channel. It's a mini suspension bridge built with cables. On the far side of the bridge are many houses. There is no way for anyone to get a car on this side so there are nothing but footpaths. It is a lifestyle that is a bit of a throwback and quite interesting to experience.
- There is a backpackers lodge with an old nonfunctional Harley motorcycle mounted on the roof. It is a very cheap place to stay and appears like it may have been started by hippies.
- There is a tiny beach around the corner from the mouth of the tidewater channel.
- If you walk about in the small alleys and streets by the channel you can sometimes glimse a wooden fishing boat being constructed the old way by hand.
