São Jorge is a settlement in the northern part of the island of Fogo, Cape Verde. It is situated near the coast, 15 km northeast of the island capital São Filipe.
Ponta da Salina is close to the village. It is a small natural harbour and a bay with basalt rock formations one of which looks like a natural arch. There are some natural swimming pools and a dark sand beach where swimming is possible if the sea is not too rough. There is a sightworthy old cemetery, which is surrounded by a wall, close to the beach. Most of the graves have very simple wooden crosses without any names.
