Castle on Saquinho Beach, at Lagoa da Conceição, in Florianópolis, is Private Property with Access by Boat or Trail and Becomes an Isolated Reference on the Lagoa Coast
The Castle on Saquinho Beach is a medieval-style construction located at Lagoa da Conceição, in Florianópolis, and stands out as a reference in the isolated Lagoa Coast, with access only by boat or trail, attracting locals and tourists.
Castle on Saquinho Beach and Location on the Lagoa Coast
The Castle on Saquinho Beach is situated in one of the most preserved corners of Florianópolis. The construction, still little known, offers a unique view of the region, which can remind one of another country or another time.
The site is considered a point of reference for residents of the Lagoa Coast, an isolated community from the state capital.

The Atacama Desert, the driest place on Earth, was covered in flowers and turned into a colorful carpet with more than 200 species in the phenomenon called “desert bloom,” when atypical rains awaken seeds that had remained dormant in the soil for many years.
Access to the area occurs exclusively by boat or trail, a characteristic that reinforces the area’s isolation.
In front of the construction, there is a small stretch of sand that forms the so-called Saquinho Beach. The space is frequented by locals and tourists seeking lagoon bathing and water sports, especially during the summer.
Ways to Access the Location
Access to the surroundings of the Castle on Saquinho Beach can be made by private boat, kayak, or stand-up paddleboard.
The regular water transport, operated by Cooperbarco and Coopercosta, goes only to point 23, just before the beach.
Another option is to use the trail that begins at Canto dos Araçás and leads to Castelinho. There is also a second land route that starts from the Ratones neighborhood, allowing access to the same point.
These routes establish the location as a sought-after destination for those looking for a refuge away from the hustle and bustle of the capital and a more direct contact with the landscape of Lagoa da Conceição.
Private Property and Current Situation
There is no official confirmation on who the current owner of the Castle on Saquinho Beach is, as it is private property.
Residents report that an Argentine was responsible for a revitalization project years ago.
Currently, the space is closed for visitation. According to community reports, the mentioned responsible party no longer remains at the site.
Legends and Imagination on the Island of Magic
The Castle on Saquinho Beach also integrates the imagination of the local community. The history of the space intertwines with legends associated with the so-called Island of Magic.
Reports indicate that the place was initially used by “witches.” In local tradition, many descendants of these women, known as healers, still live in the region.
Over the past decades, the space has solidified as a meeting point for families. With its sandy stretch, wooden pier, and grassy area, it has become an option for lagoon bathing and for observing the capital from a different angle while maintaining its reserved and little-explored character.
