Lagoa da Conceição
A large saltwater lagoon in the middle of the island, lined with lakeside restaurants and bars. It is the hub for kitesurfing, windsurfing and boating.
The roughly 13 km lagoon separates the dune-lined east coast from the central mountains. The Centrinho da Lagoa, or lakeside 'little center,' is the island's densest concentration of nightlife and dining, and weekends bring craft markets. The lake's steady winds make it ideal for kitesurfing, windsurfing and stand-up paddleboarding. From the piers you can also catch a public ferry to the car-free village of Costa da Lagoa. It is about a 20-minute drive from downtown, and viewpoints on the mountain road overlook the whole lake.
