Deck do Pontal Norte is a wooden walkway structure extending along the coastline at the northern end of Balneário Camboriú.

The walkway is elevated above the rocky shoreline, offering direct views of the Atlantic Ocean and the city's skyscraper skyline. It is integrated into the city’s environmental preservation efforts for the coastal rock formations. The structure is fully paved in wood and features safety railings throughout its entire length. It acts as a primary access point for nature enthusiasts looking to reach more secluded northern beaches.
