Balneário Camboriú is a coastal city in the southern Brazilian state of Santa Catarina, built on steep hills that drop to the sea. It is a popular tourist destination, especially for visitors from elsewhere in South America, and its summer population swells from the 139,155 residents counted in the 2022 census to over one million. The main ocean boulevard is Avenida Atlântica, and a beach-to-beach cable car links the central beach with Laranjeiras. The city lies about 10 km south of Itajaí and 80 km north of the state capital Florianópolis, and its many skyscrapers have earned it the nickname of the Brazilian Dubai.
