Location and Contact

Location

• For those who are driving from the north on highway Br 101, like our Surf Camp,Guarda do Embau is situated inside the National Park of Serra do Tabuleiro; and to get there, you need to drive past the exit to Florianopolis city. 35 kms south (approximately 22 miles), to your left, you will see a sign to Praia do Sonho ( Dream Beach), 8 kms (5 miles) further south, you must be prepared to go to the hard shoulder to your right before crossing the highway to get to the cobble stone road that will take you to Guarda do Embau. Pay attention because the sign is very difficult to see. If you are driving at night (which I do not recommend as the road is very dangerous), watch out for the only illuminated lamp post you will see on your left past the exit to Praia do Sonho; this will be the exit to Guarda do Embau. As soon as you drive out of the highway, you will be on a cobble stone road, and on your right, next to a bar, you will find the tourist information office, which in day time, if you are lucky will be open, continue driving down this cobble stone road and shortly after, there will be a right bend then a left bend, at this point you will be in Morretes, 3 kms (2 miles) down the road, to your right you will find the entrance to Guarda do Embau, as you turn right into this road, on your left there will be a dirty road called Rua Manoel Alfredo Pereira, (see map below), follow this road to the right, and on the third alleyway to your left, you will find our Surf Camp site just behind a yellow house. There will be a gate closing this road, just open it and there will be three gates to your right; the second one is the gate to our house, and it has a bell for people who wants to book accomodation; the third gate, is the entrance gate to our Surf Camp and it also has a bell.
• For those who are driving from the south on highway Br 101, some 30 kms (20 miles) past the exit to Garopaba, you will pass the highway patrol station from this point onwards, you will drive past two petrol stations to your left, and some 8 kms ( 5 miles) north, if you are lucky you will see the sign on your right.Pay alot of attention because it will be the first exit to you right, and the road sign will be literally on the corner of the exit and it is usually hidden by the bushes. If driving at night, watch out for the only illuminated lamp post to your right after the petrol stations mentioned previously. As soon as you drive out of the highway, you will be on a cobble stone road, and on your right next to a bar, you will find the tourist information office, which in day time, if you are lucky will be open. Continue driving down this cobble stone road and shortly after, there will be a right bend then a left bend, at this point you will be in Morretes, 3 kms (2 miles) down the road, to your right you will find the entrance to Guarda do Embau. As you turn right into the main road in Guarda do Embau, (Rua Geral da Guarda), on your left, there will be a dirty road called Rua Manoel Alfredo Pereira, follow this road to the right, and on the third alleyway to your left, you will find our camping site, just behind a yellow house.There will be a gate closing this dead end alleway, just open it and there will be three gates to your right; the second one is the gate to our house, and it has a bell for people who wants to book accomodation; the third gate, is the entrance gate to our Surf Camp and it also has a bell.
• By air:
• Fly to Florianopolis city, which is the Capital of the state of Santa Catarina. At the airport, take a taxi straight to Guarda do Embau ( aproximately 45 minutes), or go by taxi to the center of Florianopolis and take a bus to Pinheira, which is the nearest village to Guarda do Embau (aproximately one and a half hour journey). The bus drives down the main road in Guarda do Embau, (RuaGeral da Guarda), on your left, there will be a dirty road called Rua Manoel Alfredo Pereira, follow this road to the right, and on the third alleyway to your left, you will find our camping site, just behind a yellow house.There will be a gate closing this dead end alleway, just open it and there will be three gates to your right; the second one is the gate to our house.It has a bell for people who wants to book accomodation; the third gate, is the entrance gate to our Surf Camp and it also has a bell.
• Note:
• It is important to note, that there are no banks,cash machine or exchange places in Guarda or nearby vilage, the neareast bank being in Palhoca city 35 kms, some 20 miiles away, (the same applies to hospitals); As travellers cheques are not accepted and credit cards have limited use, it is recomended that you change money at least for the first few days that you plan to stay, taking into account, food, and the rent you will have to pay for the package of days which will have to be paid in advance during the high season. You must remember that the longer the package you pay, the cheaper the daily rate will be, but if you pay for one or two days, and after this time you change your mind and decide to extend your stay, you will not be able to add the previous days to get a better daily rate on this new package for the previous days. The new rate will be applied only to the extra days of the new package. The reason for this, is to encourage people to pay in advance for the number of days they want to stay, as collecting rent daily from one hundred or so people, can be very time consuming, and diverts us from other jobs such as cleaning and booking in guests.
• In the summer, water shortage in Guarda do Embau is a constant problem, so it is very important when booking accomodation, to check that the stablishment you are choosing for your stay has got a water well and good water pump; otherwise you may ruin your holiday arguing with the manager trying to get a refund, which will only be a waste of time as the manager will tell you to complain to the water company. We ourselves, have a lot of people who come from other guest houses and surf camps asking us to rent our toilets and showers to them, but we believe that since we invested to ensure we have water for our guests, they should have ensured they would have it as well at the place they chose to stay, so we simply turn them down!
• We may from time to time at our discretion change US $ dollars, but would have to pay a lower rate due to the constant fluctuation rate and the expenses involved in going down to town to change it back into local currency.
• Openning times:
• From December 20th to 10 days after carnival, afterwards get in touch to find out.
