Santa Catarina Island (Portuguese: Ilha de Santa Catarina) is an island in the Brazilian state of Santa Catarina, located off the southern coast. It is home to the state capital, Florianópolis.
Santa Catarina Island is approximately 54 km (33 mi) long (measuring north–south) by 18 km (11 mi) wide, measuring east–west at its widest point (in the north of the island), with a total area of 424.4 km2 (163.9 mi2). The island is the largest of an archipelago of more than 30 islands, the majority of which lies within the Florianópolis municipality. Nearby islands are also part of the archipelago, which belong to other cities, including: Anhatomirim Island, Cabras Island, Arvoredo Island, Deserta Island, and Galés Island.
The three main bridges, Hercílio Luz Bridge (which was closed in 1991, and reopened in December 2019), Colombo Salles Bridge, and Pedro Ivo Campos Bridge, span a 500-meter wide and 28-meter deep channel that delimits the north and south bays of the island. One of the continental neighborhoods in Florianópolis is named after this strait.
