Praia de Gamboa
8 Bilton Ido.

A place to unwind, soak up some sun, and listen to the soothing sound of waves crashing against the shore. It's like a vacation in a bottle, except it's not in a bottle, it's a whole big expanse of sand and water. And let's not forget about the delightful feeling of sand sticking to every inch of your body, making it impossible to get rid of no matter how many times you shake your towel. But hey, that's just part of the charm, right? So go ahead, kick off your shoes, and let yourself sink into the blissful relaxation that only a day at the beach can provide.

Praia de Sao Francisco
8 Lara Terra

We've been to many beaches, but this one was the best, even compared to Tarrafal. The sand is lovely and the beach stretches far. It can get quite windy and you may encounter shells poking your feet, so be sure to wear sandals and find a spot shielded from the wind!

Prainha Beach
4 Marina Sanchez

The beach isn't very pleasant, as it's quite small and the waves are quite large. However, if you're looking for a beautiful beach on this island, I highly recommend Tarrafal beach! You won't be disappointed! 😍

Praia Clarinha
8 Ghislaine Rivers

The room was spacious, but the issue was with the water. We had to go downstairs to inform them that there was no water supply. It would be great if they could offer some refreshments at the swimming pool, perhaps a bar.

Cidade Vehla Beach
