Praia de São Pedro is a well-known wave spot located on the island of São Vicente. It is famous for its powerful, side-offshore wind conditions that create excellent speed strips and clean wave faces. The beach is wide and sandy, but the wind can be very strong and gusty near the shore. It is best suited for experienced riders looking for high-speed runs or challenging wave conditions.
