Editor’s Comments

Located north, close to Praia dos Ingleses, you can go there following the road that pass by Praia do Moçambique. It is a pretty consistent spot, with good waves and not many surfers. E swells and NE winds are the best. Waves pretty strong, Tom Carrol broke a few boards surfing there on a good day. It worths the drive.

Santinho is also well known for its resort (Costao do Santinho Resort), if you have some money to spend, stay there and enjoy the beach!
