Beaches

Santa Rosa

Santa Rosa has little or no touristic infrastructure.  It's a fishing village and nothing more.

The beach is a shipyard, with dozens of boats laying about being renovated. Cane rafts abound. At the entrance of the village coming from Pimentel, there is a fish processing factory, which you can just walk into -- if you can stand a whole lot of people staring at you like you're a bit of an alien.

This village has an attractive beach, with sufficient touristic infrastructure to keep you happy. Quite a few rich people have appartments here, gining it a feel remotely similar to Blankenberge. There are plenty of bars and restaurants.

A slowely disintegrating pier that has a train rail adds a bit of mystique when it's foggy. Boats float about, further asea. Cane boats lay on the beaches waiting for their fisherman.

Santa Rosa is near enough to walk there, but watch out for the sun!
