The beach is one of the few in the region to hold the Blue Flag certification for environmental quality and safety.
The local coastline includes a project known as the 'engorda da faixa de areia' to combat erosion and expand the beach area.
It is situated near the mouth of the Piçarras River, which influences the local ecosystem and maritime traffic.
The promenade is officially known as a 'molhe' (jetty) area which helps protect the coastline from strong Atlantic swells.
Praia de Piçarras is a coastal stretch located in the municipality of Balneário Piçarras, Santa Catarina, serving as a primary beach destination for the region. The coastline is characterized by a mix of residential development and a promenade infrastructure designed for recreational use. Its waters are noted for being relatively calm, making the area suitable for swimming and family-oriented beach activities. The beach features a combination of urban access points and open sandbanks stretching along the Avenida José Temistócles de Macedo. Local environmental management ensures consistent water quality assessments monitored by the state's environmental agency. The area is distinct for its ongoing urban revitalization projects that integrate the beach promenade with modern leisure amenities.

Check the state government's monthly water quality reports before swimming.
Avoid swimming near the river mouth outlet after heavy rainfall due to potential temporary water quality fluctuations.
Casual beachwear is standard, but please adhere to local ordinances regarding trash disposal to maintain the Blue Flag status.
