Some 3,000 friendly locals make up the 11 distinct communities on the island. The main community on the island is the Town of Fogo, where you can find restaurants, shops, and accommodations.

This is a great area to stay in, but one of the best things to do in Fogo Island is to drive around and explore the other communities like Joe Batt's Arm.. Engage with the locals, learn about traditional cod fishing practices, and savor fresh seafood at a local eatery.
