Notice

The new boardwalk out of Mindelo has been completed and you no longer need to take the red alternate route.

The Road

There are two ways from Mindelo to Ávore, one along the waterfront and one inland.  In recent years the waterfront option has become sand-swept, making it difficult for cyclists.

As of June 2023, approximately 1km of boardwalk is still out of service. Short sand walks are required.

The boardwalk from Gafa to Ávore is out about halfway in between. Additionally, sand dunes have consumed whole sections of the boardwalk, which is now 1.5m under the sand in some places. This makes it very difficult for anyone traveling with wheels, particularly strollers.
