The beaches are really nice: white sand, clean water. But the big problem is the wind! It's impossible to lie on the beach if you don't have some wind barriers around and also the sea is full of waves and you can not really swim... A part from this there is nothing to do on the island (maybe a visit to Espargos and the salines: expensive, you can move only by taxi)! The village is full of people from the west coast of africa selling all the same things and annoying people who just want to have a walk... very artificial and completely different from the other islands of Cape Verde, which are very different one from the other but all extremely nice!
