Coastal fishing on the island of Sao Antao
Tarrafal is a small village of fishermen and farmers on the West coast of the island, which was forgotten, owing to its inaccessibility, and civilization came to them only at the end of 90-ies. There is a small school, a health centre and several bars and small shops. Tarrafal has the largest sandy beach in Santo Antao. Given his position and the mountains that surround the Bay the sea is usually very calm from March to December.
Peace and quiet, friendly welcome Creoles, a gorgeous beach which was chosen by sea turtles for breeding year round warm comfortable climate and of course the unforgettable fishing. Across the Bay, on the shores of which stands the village, migration routes of tuna, whales and dolphins.
