Name: Our journey to Santiago Island was solely motivated by the prospect of visiting this beach, which has now become one of my top two favourite beaches in Cabo Verde. The atmosphere of this beach is truly remarkable! You can relish a refreshing coconut drink, engage in a friendly game of football with the welcoming locals, take a dip in the crystal-clear waters, rent a kayak or hydrocycle to explore the surroundings, or simply bask in the breathtaking sunset.
