Ponta Preta (Portuguese meaning "black tip") is a headland in the southwest of the island of Sal in Cape Verde. It is about 2 km west of the town Santa Maria and about 1 km of Ponta do Sinó and its lighthouse.
In around 2007 and 2009, new hotels, resorts and villas had been developed and a secondary road was completed and with a few roundabouts connects the road connecting the town and Ponta do Sinó and the Espargos-Santa Maria Road. Desert sands and bushes remain in the mid portion of the area of the point.
