Named by 5 of 71. Santa Maria BeachSal's most popular beach, about 3km of soft white sand with almost no rocks, and the hub for kite and windsurf schools.Another source calls it a 5km arc of white sand with warm, shallow water.
Named by 3 of 72. TarrafalSoft sand beach beyond the main square with a second small beach, Mar di Baxu, that is almost always safe for swimming.Busy at weekends and quieter midweek, and it can be windswept from December to March.
Named by 3 of 73. Praia de Santa MónicaReached by a very rough track, it is less populated than most beaches, with swimming possible but a steep drop-off and occasional rips.Bring your own shade, food and water for a beach day here.
