Ponta Bicuda is a quiet promontory south of Tarrafal, featuring a small, sandy beach sheltered by cliffs. The area is popular for hiking, with trails that wind along the coast and through scrubland, providing views of the ocean and nearby mountains. The beach itself is less frequented than Tarrafal's main beach, offering a more intimate setting for swimming or sunbathing. Its combination of coastal scenery and tranquility makes it a rewarding destination for adventurous visitors.
Don't miss
- Hike the coastal trail for panoramic views of the headland and sea
- Swim at the secluded beach, often uncrowded even in peak season
- Spot seabirds nesting on the cliffs
