Every year, in August, a festival of local and international music takes place there. The first edition was in 1983 and only in 1995 there was no festival owing to a cholera epidemic. It's not sure that the edition of 2020 may occur. Baía das Gatas Festival is the biggest musical event in São Vicente Island, Cape Verde.

With a view to Norte de Baía, across a misty atmosphere, this beach on the eastern cost of São Vicente Island, Cape Verde, is sought by turtles to lay their eggs. These were buried in the sand, not yet ready for hatching, but some were visible on the sand, looking like crushed table tennis balls: dug out by strong tides, they were no longer feasible.
