Após estacionar e pagar a lavagem do carro "obrigatória", instalámo-nos na areia negra da praia. A areia é escaldante, mas nada que um bom par de chinelos não resolva. A água do mar é morna e tem boas ondas para nos entreter, no entanto, encontrámos, pelo menos, uma casca de laranja e um copo de plástico a boiar. Mas isso não nos impediu de nos aliviar do calor abafado constante destas paragens. Merecia melhor manutenção e um apoio de praia com WC, chuveiro e lava-pés.

One of the small beaches in the city of Praia. It has several modern restaurants nearby and if you go by car there is also parking.
