What to do? Long swims, dune walks at sunset, gull watching and grilled fish snacks at seasonal kiosks. The beach is safe for children when the sea is calm — cross with family beaches
Best season is November to June, with moderate wind and temperatures between 24°C and 28°C. Avoid August if you prefer flat sea — wind can raise swell. Read best time to visit Cape VerdeSal vs Boa Vista
