You'll find yourself amongst local eateries and shops, which also tend to be more affordable than those catering directly to tourists. > > > Staying in these areas still provides easy access to the beautiful beaches and the town's attractions, usually within a 10 to 15-minute walk. ### When is the most affordable time to visit Santa Maria? > For solo travellers, these quieter times offer a chance to experience the island's charm without the crowds. You can enjoy the beautiful beaches, explore the town, and partake in activities like surfing or kitesurfing lessons at a more relaxed pace. Many local guesthouses and smaller hotels offer better rates during these months, and you might even snag a deal on a flight. > > > Families looking for value will also appreciate the reduced costs during these months. With fewer tourists, the beaches feel more spacious, and you can often find good deals on self-catering apartments, which can significantly cut down on food expenses. ### Is Santa Maria a budget-friendly destination? > For solo travellers and couples, accommodation can be found at reasonable prices, especially if you opt for guesthouses or self-catering apartments away from the main resort areas. Areas slightly set back from the main beach, but still within easy walking distance, often offer better value. > > > Dining in Santa Maria can also be very affordable. Seek out local 'restaurants' and 'lanchonetes' for delicious and inexpensive Cape Verdean cuisine, such as fresh grilled fish or 'cachupa' (a hearty stew). Buying fresh produce from the local market and preparing some of your own meals is another excellent way to save money. Activities like relaxing on the beautiful beaches, swimming in the clear waters, and exploring the town on foot are all free. You can also enjoy the vibrant setting of the local fishing pier without spending a penny. ### How can I save on a budget hotel in Santa Maria with Expedia? ### What free activities should we do in Santa Maria? > Begin your exploration with the magnificent Santa Maria Beach, a long stretch of golden sand that's ideal for leisurely strolls, sunbathing, or simply watching the waves roll in. The pier is a hub of activity, especially in the mornings when local fishermen bring in their catch; it's a brilliant spot to soak up the local atmosphere and observe daily life. > > > Wander through the colourful streets of Santa Maria town itself. You'll find charming local markets, vibrant street art, and small squares where you can relax and people-watch. The town's architecture, with its pastel-coloured buildings, provides a delightful backdrop for a stroll. ### Is it cheaper to book flights and a hotel in Santa Maria as a package? ### Can I cancel my budget hotel reservation on Expedia? ## Explore a world of travel with Expedia -
