Campeche is a residential surf district with a good range of food and a local feel. It works for a longer stay, though it is spread out and quiet at night, so use a ride app after dark.
Campeche is a laid-back residential and surf district in the south of the island, with a long beach, a growing food scene and a steady community of remote workers and families. The village-like centre has cafes, bakeries, craft beer bars and restaurants, and it is quieter and more local than Lagoa da Conceição. It is a comfortable place to settle in for a longer stay, with good solo dining options and an easygoing atmosphere. The area is spread out, so a ride or bike is usually needed to move between the beach and the village, and some streets are dark and empty at night. Stay near the busy venues in the evening and book a ride home.

Barra da Lagoa is a compact fishing village with a surf beach. It is easy to walk by day and early evening, has a smaller scene than Lagoa da Conceição, and the paths are dark and empty late at night.
Lagoa da Conceição has the most food, bars and hostels on the island and is the easiest district for meeting other travelers. Days are easy and nights are busy, but because of drink spiking and theft around the bar strip, keep your drink close and ride home rather than walk.
Santo Antônio de Lisboa is a small waterfront village known for oysters, seafood and sunset views. It feels safe in the early evening but is quiet at night, so plan your ride home.
