The part of the beach that faces south, advances into the sea towards the Ratones Islands and forms the estuary where the Ratones River flows. This region is covered by mangroves, has a muddy bottom, with high salinity.
This formation occurs by a natural system that permanently feeds the point. The marine currents from Ponta das Canas e Canasvieiras bring the sand, which is blocked by the outlet of the Ratones River, creating a natural deposit.
At this point on the beach it is advisable a lot of attention with children and adults with little experience with swimming, as there is a submerged current strong that can drag bathers to the middle of the channel, away from the beach. There is only monitoring by lifeguards during the summer season.
History of Praia da Daniela
It was once a region of little importance to the ancients. There were no inhabitants, just a few fishermen looking for shrimp, crab and cockles. These animals are found in this area precisely because they develop in mangrove regions. It is also for this reason that housing was never sought after – the soil is muddy and very wet.

In the early 1970s, the city government approved the subdivision of the region, despite violating article 2 of the forest code, which states that stabilizing regions of mangroves and fixing dunes must be preserved.
The person responsible for the urbanization project was João Prudêncio de Amorim, who, at the time, owned a real estate agency that served in the cities of Florianópolis and Biguaçu. Plots were organized for the construction of buildings, streets and squares.
From that moment on, Pontal beach was called Balneário da Daniela, in honor of one of Prudêncio de Amorim's granddaughters.
