Sal is Cape Verde's best-known island, and for good reason. It's easy to get around, but offers more than enough to fill your days. In Santa Maria, you stroll through colourful streets past small shops and restaurants with their doors always open. From there, head to Pedra de Lume, an old volcanic crater where you walk into the water and simply float. Sal feels light and relaxed, and you notice it straight away.
On Sal, the beach is always close by. The most popular are Santa Maria Beach and Kite Beach, both within walking distance of the centre. In the morning you stroll along the water while fishermen get their boats ready. In the afternoon you find a spot in the sand and soak up the sun and the Atlantic Ocean. Want to escape the crowds? Head to Murdeira Bay for a quiet bay with clear water and hardly anyone around.
Sal is not just a place to relax. At Kite Beach you can try kitesurfing or watch the kites dance above the water. At Shark Bay you wade through shallow water while small sharks swim past your feet. Take a boat trip along the coast and spot dolphins. Or explore the island by hire car and discover quiet bays like Murdeira Bay and Calheta Funda. On Sal, there is always something that suits you.
