Canal de São Vicente
The Canal de São Vicente is a channel of the Atlantic Ocean separating the islands of Santo Antão and São Vicente, Cape Verde. At its narrowest point, it is 12 km wide. The ferry route between the ports of Porto Novo on Santo Antão and Mindelo on São Vicente crosses the canal as well as ferry routes linking the islands of São Nicolau and Santiago. The channel begins in São Vicente's northwesternmost cape near Monte Cara up to the headland Ponta de João d'Évora in the northeast.
