Places of interest
Sal mimics the appearance of the moon, because it is arid and has no natural fresh water sources, but is characterised by enchanting beaches. Many choose to stay in Santa Maria, which features a magnificent coastline. The most typical place is Espargos, the island's capital, which stands out thanks to the bright colours of its dwellings. You must visit the Burracona natural swimming pool and Pedra do Lume, a crater filled with salt water.
Best beaches
Santa Maria is one of the main reasons why Sal has become the most popular tourist destination in Cape Verde. In fact, it features 8 kilometres of white sandy beaches, able to make anyone fall in love with it. Kite Beach is a ten-minute drive from Santa Maria, so-called because it is a kite surfing paradise. The best kitesurfers in the world come here to train and enjoy a splendid panorama. The area also houses a protected nature reserve. Shark Bay opens just north of Kite beach, which takes its name from the population of lemon sharks who dwell there, who are completely harmless. The most beautiful beach, however, is Ponta Petra, located north of Santa Maria and characterised by incredible colours.
