Tarrafal de Monte Trigo

Santo Antão, Cape Verde
🏝️Remote🚶Difficult access

Tarrafal de Monte Trigo is a remote fishing village on Santo Antão Island accessible only by boat or a long hike. The remoteness means you'll likely surf alone, with powerful waves breaking on volcanic rock. The NE trade winds blow offshore here, creating excellent conditions when swells arrive.
