History of Saquinho beach<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The history of Saquinho is related to the time of Azorean colonization in the region, where fishing and the cultivation of manioc was a tradition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to records, the name of the beach came from a small sack that was used to transport flour and other foodstuffs by the region's ancient inhabitants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Saquinho beach area was once an important manioc flour production point in the colonial period. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cassava was planted on the slopes of the hill and processed in mills, which produced the flour used to feed the region's inhabitants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another story that refers to the name comes from the word \u201csachet\u201d used by fishermen to refer to the places where they put the fish they caught. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The name was made official in 1990, in honor of the village that developed in the region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For many years, mullet fishing was very strong on Saquinho Beach, as well as on other beaches in the south of the island.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Access to the beach is via a 30-minute walk that starts in P\u00e2ntano do Sul. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The trail is of medium level, but can be a little tiring due to the steep ascents and descents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Legends of Saquinho beach<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

One of the most famous legends is that of the \u201csilver bullet\u201d, which tells the story of a fisherman who found a silver bullet while fishing on the beach. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Legend has it that the bullet belonged to a treasure buried in the region and that the fisherman was never seen again after finding the object.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Interestingly, Praia do Saquinho was used as the setting for some scenes in Rede Globo's soap opera \u201cAvenida Brasil\u201d in 2012.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you're looking for a quiet place away from the bustle of Florian\u00f3polis' most popular beaches, Praia do Saquinho is a great option. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With its unique natural beauty and bucolic atmosphere, the beach is ideal for those seeking contact with nature and moments of peace and tranquillity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
