Beaches

Santiago provides a number of fantastic beaches that offer lots of fun. Particularly to highlight is Tarrafal. In its bay often sailing boats of globetrotters lay at anchor. With good reason, because the place is perfect.

There's a big and a smaller beach in Tarrafal. The following picture shows the bigger one.

The smaller one you find in the uppest picture on the right in front of the harbour wall. In its area there are stones in the water that can be detected easily and that you should avoid. In return this beach has more waves and thus offers more fun, but watch out - sometimes the waves become so violent that you should leave water to make sure not to get injured on the stones.

Another advantage of the smaller beach is that there's a comfortable beach restaurant and bar with a big verandah. From there you easily can watch colourful goings-on at the beach while relaxing with a cold drink.
