Ponta Preta
Ponta Preta is a verified beach location in Cape Verde. Today’s answer remains conditional: compare the water and weather picture with access information and local safety guidance. The editorial text covers durable facts, while the current panels remain responsible for water and weather status. The durable evidence begins with the mapped feature and its documented attributes. The linked entity data uses the classification “point in the southern part of the island of Sal.” The recorded map position is 16.60570, -22.92970, which helps distinguish this beach from similarly named places. The location comparison places Praia de Santa Maria at about 2.3 km nearby, giving you a concrete fallback to inspect before departure. For a same-day decision, use a short sequence. Check water temperature, wind, waves and currents for the planned arrival hour, then add UV, water-quality notices and local flags. On arrival, replace assumptions with observed flags, access signs and instructions from the people managing the site. Use official measurements where available and label uncertainty where they are not. A precise-looking score is not evidence for an undocumented facility or hazard. If water entry is uncertain, the page can still support a coastal walk or viewpoint visit without presenting those activities as equivalent to swimming.
