<\/figure>\n\n\n\nIlha de Laranjeiras is a small island located on Tapera beach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With an area of just 3 hectares, it is one of the main tourist attractions in the region due to its natural beauty. It is only accessible by boat, which makes it a quiet and secluded place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The island got its name from the large number of orange fruit trees that were planted during the Portuguese colonization, making it a productive area for the island of Santa Catarina.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There is also a small white sand beach which is perfect for relaxing and enjoying the scenery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In addition to its natural beauty, the island has an important historical significance for the region. During the Paraguayan War in 1865, the island served as a naval base for the Brazilian Navy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The name \u201cTapera\u201d comes from the Tupi-Guarani word meaning \u201cruin\u201d or \u201cabandoned house\u201d, which reinforces that the region was once inhabited by Tupi-Guarani Indians and Portuguese settlers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The history of the beach dates back to the 18th century, when the area was occupied by Azoreans who settled in the region and dedicated themselves to agriculture and fishing, due to the development of the Parish of Nossa Senhora da Lapa do Ribeir\u00e3o Grande<\/p>\n\n\n\n Tapera Beach is an environmental preservation area, protected by federal and state laws. The area is surrounded by dunes and Atlantic forest and is home to a rich fauna and flora. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The beach is known for the presence of sea turtles, which come to lay their eggs on its sands during spring and summer. The beach is also an important spot for watching migratory birds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n After the creation of the Naval Aviation Center in 1923, Tapera began to develop more significantly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Florian\u00f3polis Air Base is located close to Tapera beach, which means that the site is frequently flown over by military aircraft, which can be seen while practicing nautical activities in the area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In the 1970s, the Tapera neighborhood still had a few houses and a dirt road linking the area to the city. Over the years, the neighbourhood developed and urbanization arrived, bringing with it improvements in infrastructure and access to public services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The neighborhood has a small chapel dedicated to St. Francis of Assisi, built by the region's former residents. <\/p>\n\n\n\n During the archaeological excavations at the Tapera site, the remains of 172 individuals were found, 93 adults and 79 children. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The bodies were buried in shallow pits in the sand on the beach and accompanied by ornaments made from shells and animal teeth. <\/p>\n\n\n\n These archaeological finds reveal the presence of an ancient community that inhabited the region around 4,500 years ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Many of the pieces found at the Tapera site are currently on display at the Museum of Sambaqui Man in Florian\u00f3polis, which is an important reference in the study of sambaqui culture and the region's prehistory. <\/p>\n\n\n\n On this site<\/a> you can get to know the list<\/a> and more information on all Sambaquis of the Island<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n As we have seen, it is still possible to see traces of the neighborhood's history, such as archaeological sites and the presence of some fishing communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In short, Praia da Tapera is a haven for those seeking peace and quiet, away from the hustle and bustle of Florian\u00f3polis' most popular beaches. With its unspoiled nature and rich history, the beach is a treasure to be discovered by tourists and locals alike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Tapera beach can be reached from the Gov. Aderbal Ramos da Silva highway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The route follows the SC-405 highway to Av. Dep. Diom\u00edcio Freitas\/Rod. Jo\u00e3o Nilson Zunino.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Follow the signs, the route is usually well signposted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n By car<\/strong> When you reach the Pedro Ivo bridge, go straight along the Gov. Gustavo Richard highway, second from the Gov. Aderbal Ramos da Silva highway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Just follow the signs to the south of the island along Av. Dep. Diom\u00edcio Freitas\/Rod.
