On Sal, Praia de Santa Maria is an impressive stretch of white sand, while Boa Vista is home to around 55 kilometres of coastline, including the beautiful Praia de Chaves and Santa Monica Beach. Whether you’re after beach days relaxing, hitting the waves with some watersports or taking romantic strolls on the soft sand, Cape Verde is the place to be.
Cape Verde is also a great place to get active. Sal is particularly popular for kitesurfing and windsurfing, thanks to its strong Atlantic winds, while Boa Vista offers everything from watersports and diving to quad biking across the sand dunes.
For something a little different, head to Pedra de Lume on Sal, where you can float in the incredibly salty waters of an old volcanic crater. You can also visit Buracona’s famous Blue Eye or wade through the shallow waters of Shark Bay alongside lemon sharks.
Boa Vista is brilliant for wildlife spotting, particularly if you visit between June and October when loggerhead turtles come ashore to nest. Between February and May, you may also be able to spot humpback whales on dedicated boat trips.
And if you fancy seeing more of the local way of life, spend some time in Santa Maria on Sal or Sal Rei on Boa Vista. Santa Maria has colourful markets, beachfront bars and a livelier atmosphere, while Sal Rei has a quieter feel, with local shops, markets and a harbour to explore.
