Overview

Unipraias Park - Orange Station is one of three stops on a 3.25-kilometer aerial cable car system connecting Balneário Camboriú's central beach to the southern coast. Located at Laranjeiras Beach, this station serves as the final stop on the descent from the Atlantic Forest peak. The station provides direct pedestrian access to the shoreline of Praia das Laranjeiras, a small bay protected by hills. It features a concentrated area of restaurants, bars, and souvenir kiosks integrated into the base of the mountain. The park relies on the cable car as its primary transit method between stations, with this specific location acting as the gateway to the beach infrastructure. It is managed as part of a private eco-tourism complex that preserves surrounding forest trails.
