Trip Planner: Africa / Cape Verde / Santiago / Praia / Quebra Canela Beach

Quebra Canela Beach, Praia

3.5

#2 of 9 in Outdoors in Santiago

Relax with a dip at Quebra Canela Beach, a small urban beach with a nearby shopping mall and a number of hotels. The dark sand's gentle slope and the sheltered cove backed by cliffs provide good swimming conditions, while the long seawall draws fitness-happy locals. The proximity of the city makes this popular beach a prime venue for a number of cultural and water sports events year-round. If you get thirsty, head to one of the few bars on the beach.

A fairly popular beach in the city centre, with some decent infrastructure, but not nearly as picturesque as Prainha. So my recommendation is to carry on round the coast a little further. more »

Jolie plage avec quelques endroits ombragés... Ce qui est appréciable... Et en haut un petit bar restaurant ou l'on mange bien et qui fait un brunch les dimanches midi et tout cela a un prix correct. more »

Pretty beach with a few shady places... What is significant... And at the top a little bar restaurant or you eat well and makes a brunch Sunday at noon and all this has a price.

Probably one of the best beaches in Praia. However I found it was too less space (the beach is quite small) for too many visitors.

Var der okt 17, Det er den største av to strender i Praia. Det er brun sand som fyker en del når det blåser, men ellers ok, mye folk enkelte ettermiddager, ikke så skitten som den ser ut.

Was there Oct. 17, it is the largest of the two beaches in Praia. It is brown sand that whizzes a part when it's blowing, but otherwise ok, a lot of people some afternoons, not as dirty as it looks.
