Praia de Gamboa

5 Pablo Pericado

With the construction of resorts, the beach will surely improve, but as of now, it presents a rather gloomy sight.

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! 😍

Quebra Canela

10 Andrea LXC

I absolutely adore this beach in Praia! It is by far my favourite spot to soak up the sun and enjoy the refreshing ocean breeze. Not only is the beach itself stunning, but the surrounding area boasts an array of fantastic restaurants that offer delicious meals and refreshing drinks. And if you're in need of some pampering, you can even indulge in a relaxing massage while lounging on the beach. This truly is the perfect destination for a rejuvenating getaway.

Praia de Portinho

8 Jorge Paulo

The beach has crystal clear water and golden sand, making it a picturesque destination for all beach lovers. The water is so clear that you can see the vibrant marine life swimming beneath the surface. The beach is perfect for sunbathing, swimming, and relaxing while enjoying the stunning views. It's a must-visit spot for anyone looking for a serene and peaceful beach experience.

Sao Tome Beach

8 Ludella Rios

This serene beach is a hidden gem, with peaceful surroundings and a tranquil atmosphere that is seldom disturbed by crowds. The water is a bit murky, but that doesn't take away from the beauty of the shoreline. I personally prefer to take leisurely strolls with my furry companion, but the option to take a refreshing dip in the ocean is always there.
