Initially, you'll be jet-skiing in Santa Maria Bay and discovering the famous Pontão from the sea. This iconic wooden jetty juts out into the Atlantic Ocean and is a must-see place to watch local fishermen bring in their catch of the day and sell fresh fish directly to locals and restaurateurs. You will then continue the excursion to Ponta Preta, a beach located a few kilometres south-west of Santa Maria and renowned for its powerful waves. This beach is one of the best spots for surfing, kitesurfing and windsurfing on the island of Sal! Finally, it's time to turn around and head back to the diving centre, where your tour ends.
