Blackpool in Florianopolis

There is an equivalent to Blackpool or Morecambe in Florianopolis and that is Canasvieiras. It doesn't have all the amusement parks - but it is definitely seedy. The interesting thing is that it was possible to predict this 30 years ago. The beach was then ripe for development, as it has miles of white sand and the sea is calm - ideal for families. Unfortunately, nothing has been done to control development and keep the beauty of the place. I just couldn't bring myself to take a photo of it and we won't be going there again!
