Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

The town and the lake are very nice and there is plenty to do. You can sand board, paddle, sail, walk, swim etc. There is a nice promenade along part of the lake that is quite enjoyable. From town, you can go to various places with city buses making Lagoa da Conceição a good base.

Lagoa da Conceiçao is right in the middle of the island Floripa (or Santa Catarina), the so called magic island, which is about 50 km long and about 5 km wide with over 40 select beaches, mountains, rivers, lakes, lagoons, jungle, forests and some preserved areas for reptiles. Connected to the continent by a huge bridge, Lagoa da Conceiçao is only about 10 km away from the old centre of Florianopolis, right across the mountain chain deviding the island.
Lagoa da Conceiçao is a fairly small town, but you can find almost everything there. A lot of open in-places, cafés and bars are situated in Rua Manoel Severina de Oliveira. For instance, the only English pub on the island is right there by the name of The Black Swan run by a seasoned Brit who has lived for almost 40 years in this beautiful country. Live music 5 nights a week and on tuesdays a Quiz for some of the English speaking intellectuals conducted by the very able Simon. A few steps further up you can enjoy live jazz and bossanova during weekends at the Jazzy Café St. Germain, run by a young Brazilian couple who had previously spent a few years in Paris, where they got their inspiration to give this little town a bit of a French flair.
Two of the best beaches of the island 'Praia Mole' and Praia 'de Joaquina' are respectively 4 and 5 km away from Lagoa da Conceiçao and can either be joined by bus or car. There are no doubt some of the prettiest girls of Brazil you can meet, particularly so if you are single.
In spite of all the beauty, here is a warning one should not take too lightly. Do not ever swim in any of the two lakes, as all the used waters of our charming little town go straight into them. Something most tourists seem to ignore and I know what I am talking about, because I have decided to live here 5 years ago.

This is the larger of the two towns on the lake, providing you access to multiple grocery stores, banks, restaurants, as well as the launching point for the water taxis that take you to the north of the lake where are the hidden restaurants are located. The people are friendly and we always felt safe. There are both rentals and kite surfing rentals. However we could not find any place to rent a small sized sailboat.

Lots of great shops, restaurants and running/biking trails. If you're ever in Floripa, definitely stop by this part of the island.

Estive na regiao em janeiro e infelizmente peguei época de chuva, durante visita a lagoa havia transbordado!
Atualmente ela é própria pra banho ??
Written 27 March 2018
Foi uma temporada atípica, choveu demais! A lagoa da conceição tem duas partes, que se divide pela ponte da lagoa, na parte pequena não aconselho tomar banho, mas na parte grande tranquilo, ainda é própria, tem o canal da barra da lagoa que faz com que a água da lagoa desemboque no mar, às vezes sai água da lagoa e as vezes entra do mar, por isso ela é meio salgada! Na lagoa você pode tomar banho, e fazer diversos esportes aquáticos!
