Projeto TAMAR is Brazil’s sea turtle conservation program. Florianópolis appears on TAMAR’s official list of visitor centers, alongside places such as Fernando de Noronha, Praia do Forte and Ubatuba, according to the project’s official website.
What to see
The visitor centers present the sea turtle species found in Brazil, explain the threats they face, such as accidental capture in fishing gear and litter in the sea, and show the project’s research and environmental education work. In Florianópolis you can see turtles in tanks.
Why go
- With children: it is one of the most popular family outings on the island. See Florianópolis with kids.
- On a cloudy day: a good alternative when the beach is not inviting. See Florianópolis on a rainy day.
Where it is
The Florianópolis center is in the Barra da Lagoa area, on the east of the island.
Practical tips
- Check opening hours and tickets on the official website.
- A great outing with children.
- Combine it with Barra da Lagoa.
