Beaches of Florianopolis

Florianopolis has hundred's of beaches... we visited several during my short stay.  Unlike the small, hidden, tropical coves found in Itacare, Floripa's beaches are long, expansive, and easily reached (with many beachfront condos, hotels, and, in the case of the poshest neighborhoods, mansions).  Most impressive were the mystical blue mountains and islands that appeared in the distance from nearly every vantage point.... my pictures fail to do it justice.
