Name: The solitary white beach on Sao Nicolau is a must-visit. The water is perfect for a refreshing swim, but it's advisable not to venture too far out. You'll have the entire beach to yourself most of the time, ensuring complete seclusion. Although the road leading to the beach from Tarrafal is in poor condition, it's still accessible with a four-wheel drive. The ten-kilometer trek is worth it for the unparalleled privacy and stunning scenery.
