What to rent for Carnival in Balneário Camboriú: day-by-day guide

What to rent for Carnival and summer in Balneário Camboriú

If you are planning what to rent for Carnival or the summer weeks in Balneário Camboriú, setting up a good spot on the sand takes more than just sunscreen. A Bluetooth speaker, a tent, folding chairs and a well-stocked cooler make the difference between a great day and an afternoon of improvising. Renting these items by the day costs far less than buying everything and dragging it from home, especially if you are coming from another city just for the season.

On Alugoae, a peer-to-peer rental platform covering Balneário Camboriú, Itajaí and Navegantes, you will find these items listed by local residents. Bookings work by date, and the owner confirms the request before any direct contact is shared.

Beach speaker: output, schedule and usage rules

A beach speaker needs a built-in battery to work without a power outlet. Models like the JBL Xtreme or similar, rated between 60 and 100 W, are usually enough for groups of 10 to 15 people. For larger groups of 20 to 30, speakers at 150 W or above deliver comfortable volume even over the sound of the ocean.

In Balneário Camboriú, playing music on the beach falls under municipal noise regulations. Permitted hours vary by stretch of coastline, and the decibel limit is stricter near residential areas. Before turning the volume up, check the signs on the beach and be considerate of neighbouring towels.

When you pick up the speaker, check the battery level with the owner and confirm whether it comes with an aux cable, a USB cable and a stand. Note the condition in the chat before you leave.

Tent, chairs and cooler: setting up on the sand

A 3x3 m pop-up gazebo tent easily shelters a family of four to six with their chairs and cooler underneath. On sand, the tent is anchored with ground stakes or sand bags, which the owner usually includes; ask about this in the chat before confirming, particularly during Carnival when the afternoon wind on the Balneário Camboriú seafront can pick up.

Folding aluminium beach chairs weigh between 1.5 and 2.5 kg each and fit in any car. A 50-litre cooler keeps drinks cold for eight to ten people throughout the day as long as it stays mostly closed. Some owners rent the set (tent, chairs and cooler) as a bundle; it is worth asking in the chat whether that option is available.

Day rental in season: prices and how to book on Alugoae

Day rental demand in Balneário Camboriú runs high during Carnival and New Year. Book at least three to five days ahead to secure the items you want. On the platform, you select your dates, send the request and wait for the owner to accept; the chosen dates are then locked in the calendar.

Payment is by Pix to Alugoae within 24 hours of the owner's acceptance. Both parties' WhatsApp numbers are released after payment is confirmed, and the payout to the owner happens once they confirm the item has been returned.

• Speaker: R$ 60 per day
• 3x3 m gazebo tent: R$ 120 per day
• Folding aluminium chair: R$ 15 to R$ 20 per day
• 50-litre cooler: R$ 50 per day
• Estimated bundle (tent + 2 chairs + cooler + speaker): around R$ 245 per day

Returning items that picked up sand

Beach items come back with sand, salt and sea spray. Most owners expect you to clean what you can before the return: shake out the tent, wipe the speaker with a damp cloth to remove salt, rinse the chairs and dry the inside of the cooler. Take photos when you hand the item back, just as you did at pick-up.

If any accessory (stake, cable, rubber cover) was accidentally left at the beach, let the owner know via chat before you meet. Communicating in writing keeps everything on record in the platform and makes it easier to sort out any differences.
