Praia de Gamboa

4 Mariella Castillo

This sandy stretch of shore may appear inviting for a dip, but don't be fooled by the few brave souls taking a plunge. The industrial surroundings mar the natural beauty and leave a sour taste in the mouth. It's a shame that such a promising spot is tainted by the unsightly factories and warehouses that loom in the background. Perhaps it's best to keep your distance and find a more pristine beach elsewhere.

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! 😍
