Rosa Norte

Rosa Norte is the most sought-after end of the popular Praia do Rosa, in Imbituba, on the south coast of Santa Catarina, considered world-class for experienced surfers. The bottom is sand and the spot holds powerful, fast waves, with long lefts at the North End when the northeast wind is strong or east swell comes in, and it also takes south and southeast swell well on bigger days.

Praia do Rosa is recognized by UNESCO as one of the thirty most beautiful bays in the world, surrounded by hills of native vegetation that frame the perfect setting of sea, nature and quality waves. Between July and November, Rosa becomes one of the best southern right whale watching spots on the South American coast, which draws visitors even outside the water. For those with experience who are looking for a challenge, Rosa Norte is the right choice, while beginners usually prefer the more sheltered Rosa Sul next door.
