São Vicente The new bathing area in São Vicente also protects Fajã da Areia from the sea with a wall. This is a very popular place with surfers and there are nautical sports facilities, a solarium, an outdoor café and a promenade between Varadouro and Baía dos Juncos. Ponta Delgada, the neighbouring northern town that “rests on the sea”, also has new facilities that include two swimming pools, sunbathing areas, a food court, shower rooms and breakwater that has resulted in a beach in a small bay.
