Sambaqui is one of the oldest neighborhoods in Florianópolis, known for its preservation of Azorean colonial architecture.
The venue is positioned on the Baía Norte, which is characterized by significantly calmer waters than the ocean-facing beaches on the island's east side.
The surrounding area is historically associated with the artisanal fishing community and the traditional 'sambaquis' (shell mounds) that give the neighborhood its name.
The wooden structure of the marina is specifically designed to accommodate leisure vessels while minimizing environmental disruption to the coastal edge.
Marina Marina is a boutique seaside leisure space located in the Sambaqui district of Florianópolis, Brazil. It operates as a private pier and social deck offering direct access to the calm waters of the Baía Norte. The venue focuses on nautical leisure, providing boat mooring services alongside a coastal lounge experience. It is situated along the Rodovia Gilson da Costa Xavier, a coastal road known for its historical heritage and local culinary scene. The facility serves as a departure point for maritime excursions and sunset observation. Visitors can access the water directly from the wooden decking structure. It functions primarily as a maritime hub that integrates scenic bay views with boat docking infrastructure.
