The local's trick

A stroller doesn't work on the dirt roads of the coves: a baby carrier backpack is much better.

What to bring

  • Water shoes for everyone
  • Life jacket and mask for children
  • 50+ sunscreen and anti-UV t-shirts
  • Snacks and fresh water

If it's windy or bad weather

  • If it's windy, the boat trip is canceled: replace it with the museum and the tuff quarries.
  • With rough seas, prefer Praia, sheltered and close to the town.
