Praia do Rosa

Blessed with over a mile of beach and a laid back atmosphere, Praia do Rosa is one of the best places in Brazil for whale watching.  Between the months of  July and November dozens of southern right whales come here to breed and can be seen from the shore or on special boat trips.  Further south, the colonial town of Laguna is home to a remarkable traditional spectacle wherein dolphins help herd fish into local fishermen’s nets.   

Pousada Vida Sol e Mar

With delightful stone-built cottages and villas, the Pousada is only a short walk from the beach and has a placid lagoon offering safe swimming.  It is also the headquarters for the Southern Right Whales Institute and co-ordinates whale watching and a host of other activities.
