On a peaceful day, we had the pleasure of capturing some fantastic shots of the shipwreck. We were able to get up close and personal with the vessel, and even managed to snap some incredible pictures of the waves crashing against it. Although the journey to the beach is a lengthy one and the road is a bit bumpy, it's definitely worth the effort if you're up for an adventure. We rented a car, which added to the excitement of the trip.

It's wonderful to see how the island has found a way to boost its economy by capitalizing on a serendipitous event. The beach has a certain charm that makes it worth a visit, especially since the island doesn't offer many other attractions. While it would be great if the area were kept cleaner, it's important to remember that tourists also have a responsibility to minimize their impact on the environment. All in all, this beach is a unique and interesting destination that is definitely worth checking out.

4 Frustrating

This beach in Cape Verde is a one-of-a-kind destination that should not be missed, especially for those who love adventure. However, be prepared to either rent a 4x4 or go on a quad tour to get here. If you prefer a guided tour, you can also arrange one from Sal Rei or from a hotel on another part of the island. When driving, don't hesitate to take roads that may not look like roads on Google Maps. Although the beach is unfortunately littered, there is a secluded area further down where visitors can enjoy a nice stretch of sand without any distractions. Despite the littering, this beach is still a great experience and worth a visit, earning it a 4-star rating.

A classic destination for those seeking a little R&R. This particular spot was quite pleasant, though not quite as shipwreck-filled as we had anticipated based on the glossy photos we perused beforehand. Alas, it seems that in a mere decade or so, there may be nary a trace of wreckage left to be found. As for the swimming situation, well, timing is everything. During our visit, the waves were putting on quite the show, making a dip in the ocean a bit of a risky endeavor. But hey, if you're feeling adventurous, go for it. Just don't say we didn't warn you.
