Laginha Beach - Must Go
You’ve got to check out Laginha Beach if you’re in Mindelo—it’s such a cool spot! Trust me, the best time to go is early in the morning. From 5–7 am, the vibe is awesome. Locals are out using this super simple outdoor gym right on the beach, getting their workouts in as the sun rises over the water. And then, like clockwork, everyone dives into the clear blue ocean for a quick swim on the right side of the beach. It’s such a great way to start the day.
But the beach isn’t just great in the morning. Even in the evening, it’s got this relaxed, chill atmosphere that feels really special. It’s never too crowded, although a city beach.
Oh, and if you’re into snorkeling, there’s an underwater trail that’s amazing. You’ll find loads of cool fish and vibrant corals.
