Canasvieiras Brazil

Canasvieiras is a neighborhood and beach in southern Brazil, approximately 27 kilometers (17 mi) northeast of the city of Florianópolis, on the northern part of Santa Catarina Island. Nearby beaches include Jurerê and Cachoeira do Bom Jesus. One account suggests the area is named after Mr. Vieira, who owned a sugar cane plantation in the town, but historically it is more likely that it was named for a variety of cane cultivated in the region, known in Portuguese as "cana-viera." A 1786 map identifies the beach as "Praia Cana Vieiras." During the summer, Canasvieiras is popular with tourists, especially those from Argentina but also from Chile and Uruguay, because of its calm seas and nightlife. The area has accommodations, bathhouses, and shops (many with bilingual attendants), as well as a police station and a health clinic.
