general information

The small town of Sao Vicente on the north coast houses a pebble beach that can provide beach break (albeit pebble) fun peaks. Not as gnarly as the rest of the island spots, this wave is rather mellow and suits intermediates and below. Still picks up enough swell to have consistent waves though. If the surf is not on, check out the well known local attraction, volcanic caves and lava tubes (underground tunnels caused by lava flows). Hey it's a tube none-the-less.
