Praia Mocambique
This is the largest beach on the island - 7.5 kms long and all like this!

It lies north of Barra da Lagoa beach and is quite difficult to get to as it is a protected area, so visitors are not really encouraged. You can only get to it by a couple of rough earth roads or by walking. Even so it is still popular with surfers as the waves are really good - but as you can see from the photo there is no building along this beach.

Behind the beach is the Parque Florestal do Rio Vermelho - a protected wooded area where there are a couple of camping sites. At one time, all the island's beaches would have been like this!
