São Vicente
Edit SpotAbout
Was passing by and had to stop to take the pictures. Took this pictures in a sunday, and not one surfer in the water.
Atmosphere:
I don't know how often it breaks but I was coming from Porto Moniz and it was the first spot i saw breaking perfect at the north coast of Madeira.
Additional Info:
Can park your car just in front of the spot
