You can reach Fogo year-round, but nonwinter months are more pleasant. The island's 11 settlements are located along the rocky coast, best explored in Atlantic sunshine. Art exhibitions and the boisterous Great Fogo Island Punt Race to There and Back take place in July and August. Resident artists enjoy the color and quiet of fall and spring.
