São Pedro Beach
Praia de São Pedro
A long sandy beach and fishing village near the airport. Strong winds and big waves make it a hotspot for windsurfing and kitesurfing, and sea turtles are often spotted offshore.
São Pedro lies about 10 km southwest of Mindelo, backed by barren hills. Its roughly 2-km beach gets strong winds that draw windsurfers and kitesurfers. Sea turtles often swim into the shallows to feed near the fishing village pier, especially when fishermen unload their catch. A holiday hotel sits at one end of the beach. Currents can be strong, so swim with caution. A taxi takes about 15 minutes.
