Great for family beach holiday. The safe, protected, sandy beach lies within the small harbour which is within the complex. There are also long stretches of sand beaches a few yards further away. The area is excellent also for watersports, Porto Antigo is about 200 yards from one of santa Maria's two windsurfing centres. Fishing, scuba,and kite-surfing is also available.
There is a restaurant within the complex and the bar/snack restaurant is to one side of the harbour with spectacular sunset views.
Cape Verde is warm enough to sunbathe and swim year round. A regular easterly breeze keeps it comfortable in summer.
Porto Antigo is towards one end of Santa Maria, which is quite small, so it's an easy stroll into the centre. Though developing fast, Sal is still a simple, sleepy kind of place. There's 1 sports bar, but night life tends to revolve round the many excellent fish restaurants.
