Opened on August 26, 1999, the park is known for its innovative cable car system, which links Barra Sul to Laranjeiras Beach, making it the only park in the world to connect two beaches via aerial cable cars. The park features three stations: Barra Sul, Mata Atlântica, and Laranjeiras. The cable car ride provides panoramic views of the coastline and surrounding mountains. At the Mata Atlântica station, visitors can explore the Environmental Park, walk along trails, and enjoy scenic viewpoints.

The park also includes attractions like the Fantástica Floresta, with a suspended train, the Chocolate House, and the Laranjeiras viewpoint. With a blend of natural beauty and exciting activities, Parque Unipraias offers an unforgettable experience for tourists of all ages. The park's history began in the 1950s when entrepreneur Normando Tedesco, captivated by the beauty of Balneário Camboriú, acquired much of the area. Inspired by cable car systems in the United States and Europe, Tedesco envisioned a similar attraction in Brazil. His sons, Júlio and Marcos Tedesco, partnered with Grupo Fidúcia to realize this dream, leading to the creation of BONTUR S/A and the opening of Parque Unipraias.
