Fajã d' Água, Coastal village in Brava, Cape Verde.
The village lies at 7 meters above sea level on the northwestern coast of Brava island, 4 kilometers from Nova Sintra capital.
The settlement appeared on maps in 1747 as Faciend de Agoa and functioned as the main harbor of Brava until 1843.
The residents maintain traditional fishing practices and cultivate local crops including maize, beans, bananas, and papayas throughout the coastal area.
The natural swimming pool located one kilometer south of the village provides recreational opportunities depending on weather and sea conditions.
A monument erected in 1993 commemorates 51 people who perished during the Matilde ship journey to America in August 1943.
