Tips from the community
In English, Ponta do Ouro translates to Point of Gold, and it’s not hard to see why. Situated 15 kilometres from the South African border, Ponta is a hotspot for surfers (it has a gorgeous right point break), scuba divers (The Pinnacles is a famous dive spot for seeing sharks), and fishermen (the nearby reefs mean plenty of easy catches). Added to this, you can watch turtles lay their eggs in the summer and the humpback whale migration in the winter. The town is lively, there are plenty of bars and restaurants, and a wonderful open air market to enjoy when you need a break from the salt and sand.
