Summer time is the best and busiest time to visit it. That because the main atraction are the 100 beaches around. And the 3 laguns in the meddle. Mainly time between Christmans and New Year. It means if u want to stay in the crowd, party and meet a lot of people from all brasil and world... My favorite beaches are Praia Mole, Jurerê Internacional and Praia Brava. It's plenty of beautiful, fit and tan people. There's some beaches like Lagoinha do Leste and Nalfragados that u need to take a boat or do a path to get there, this places u can camping and enjoy the nature. Of course, nowadays u have to be careful everywhere, then is bether to stay by the camping. There's places like Lagoa da Conceição and Ribeirao da Ilha where u can apreciate the native portuguese architecture and very good sea food (u can't miss: pirão de peixe, ostras - the best osters in the country - rodizio de camarão, camarão na abobora). The best places to stay are by the beach, where u can find international hotels or local hostels and void the traffic to get by the sea. Or even rent a house for few weeks. A good choise would be Lagoa da Conceição, where u can go by feet to 3 beaches, and sandboard in the dunes and enjoy the lagun. Some thing that u can't miss is jumping with parashots from the Praia Mole Hill and do some ecological tracking. I think is that. Good travel.
