Legend has it that the name Campeche comes from the French nickname the visitor called the place: «caladero», that is, «Champ et Pêche«.
As the island in front of the beach already had this title since the last century, historians say that it comes from a vegetable called pau-campeche (Hematoxylon campechianum) of the Fabraceae family, which was used as a medicinal and dyeing plant of the same name that, like the pau-brasil, was highly sought after in the early colonization.
Data from the Florianópolis City Hall
