The north has calm, warm-water beaches and the busy resorts of Jurer\u00ea and Canasvieiras. The east faces the Atlantic, with surf beaches like Joaquina and Mo\u00e7ambique. The centre is Lagoa da Concei\u00e7\u00e3o, a lagoon surrounded by bars, restaurants and hostels, and the heart of island life for travellers. The south is the wildest, with fishing villages, trails and empty beaches.\r\n\r\nSummer, from December to March, is peak season, with packed beaches and parties.
