São Francisco Beach – A wonderful beach

This beach has a longer sandy beach than beaches like Kebra Canela or Praiinha. And although it is in the Praia airport area, because it is outside the city, it is also less crowded, which can be something interesting for those who want to be quieter.

A place for friends to socialize

If almost all beaches are relaxed places, San Francisco beach has an even more special vibe. It’s almost like the friendship beach. There, groups of friends get together and put on music, having fun and dancing.

San Francisco is a special beach. You can talk about the water, at a fantastic temperature, or the sunsets that you can enjoy from the beautiful sandy beach it has. One of the best beaches on Santiago Island, along with Tarrafal or Praia Baixo.

But the best thing is, if you travel to Beach City, to confirm it for yourself.
