Florianópolis is definitely not a “touristy” city in the same way that Rio is, but it’s a lovely city that is also near the water and actually on a separate island from the rest of Santa Catarina State. One thing to note is that since it’s not as touristy, not as many people speak English there. I was still able to get along fine with my minimal Portuguese and pretty good Spanish. Florianapolis is friendly and has an interesting history. One spot that really told a lot of the history was the Museu de Florianópolis (https://www.sesc-sc.com.br/museudeflorianopolis/portal/), which is a trilingual museum, with all written or audio/visual things in Portuguese, Spanish, and English. It was also very interactive.
Another thing I enjoyed was visiting the Beiramar Shopping Mall which is not normally my thing to do while traveling, but there were lots of nice stores and restaurants. Personal favorites were Farm Rio, a clothing store, and Madero Steak House.
