Praia de Santa Maria is a beach on the south coast of the island of Sal, Cape Verde. It stretches from the city center of Santa Maria in the east to the Ponta do Sinó (the island's southernmost point) in the southwest. It is about 2 km long. Along with Praia da Ponta Preta, it is the most popular beach on the city and island.
