Every route in runs along the BR-101 to the Porto Belo exit. From there it's about 14 km to the town entrance, at Praia de Bombas.
Published Updated
Coming from the south (Florianópolis, Porto Alegre) or the north (Joinville, Curitiba), take the BR-101 to the signposted exit for Porto Belo and Bombinhas. The road runs through Porto Belo and enters Bombinhas at Bombas. In high season the last stretch gets jammed at weekends and on public holidays — arriving early makes a real difference.
Navegantes airport is the closest, about 60 km away — around an hour's drive without traffic. There are car-hire desks at the airport and transfers to Bombinhas.
Hercílio Luz airport in Florianópolis is about 80 km away and usually has more flights and better fares. The route is the same: leave the island, take the BR-101 north and turn off at the Porto Belo exit.
Intercity buses run to Bombinhas from the Florianópolis bus station and from nearby towns such as Itajaí, Balneário Camboriú and Itapema; in high season there are also routes from the state capitals of southern Brazil. Operators and timetables change from season to season — check at your departure station before you buy.

Bombinhas is a peninsula with a single road in, and in high season the town charges a fee on vehicles from out of town. It applies to the whole town — not to any one beach. The beaches themselves stay public and free.
