This morning I chose to have breakfast somewhere different. My decision was Lagoinha da ponta das canas, the northernmost beach in the island. It is a nice location with 760 metres extension, reasonable wide and fine sand strip, calm sea and a nearby lagoon (the reason of its name ).
During summer the beach is popular with tourists, fact proven by the number of hotels and pousadas in the area. The number of seafront constructions has increased rapidly but at least it seems that the height restriction law is avoiding buildings.
Walking with my wife along the beach I found very few people although the weather was good and warm. Reaching the end, further in the rocks, I found a great place to set our picnic and enjoy the beautiful view. Drinking coffe, listening to the waves striking the rocks, is certainly a good way to start the day. Indeed simple things can make you happy.
