## Spots in Santa Catarina

- [Campeche](https://yosurf.app/spot/campeche): Santa Catarina; Beach break; levels beginner, intermediate, advanced; A big, very wind-exposed beach. Its long hollow right is rare: it needs a major south swell.
- [Garopaba](https://yosurf.app/spot/garopaba): Santa Catarina; Beach break; levels beginner, intermediate, advanced; A surf town between Silveira point and Gamboa beach. It picks up NE and S swells alike.
