Campeche Lomba guide
Location
About the spot
Lomba do Sabão sits between Campeche Beach and Morro das Pedras, in the south of Santa Catarina Island, and is now the buzziest point in the area since the Riozinho stretch became unfit for swimming. The bottom is sand, the waves break in both directions and the spot works well on northeast wind days, a very common condition on the island that ruins many of Floripa's other spots.
The crowd is young and lively, bringing together surfers, people playing altinha and footvolley, plus longtime residents who closely follow the neighborhood's transformation. The sand strip usually fills up on weekends, mixing beachgoers and athletes in a laid-back vibe. It's worth keeping Lomba as a sure alternative precisely on strong northeast days, when other spots on the island are impossible.
