Santa Maria West



At the west side of the village, at the sandy beach with the large hotels is the other spot. This is where Cabo Verde Kitecenter is located with Rod as your host. The wind is side shore from the left and there can be a nice shorebreak. Usually here is a lot of kitesurfing going on and it is a great place to learn kitesurfing. The kitecenter is always on a walking distance of your hotel..

If you walk for about 1 km southwards towards the shipwreck, you will find another spot called Ponta Sino. The winds are more onshore due to the curve of the bay and the waves can be tricky. Don't go there as a beginner.
