Warming weather, perfect for a Cape Verde beach holiday...

With year-round temperatures sitting comfortably in the mid-to-late 20s, Cape Verde successfully beckons to all beach goers, whether it's winter sun or summer sun you crave the most. Sal and Boa Vista are the most well-known islands for their soft sands and turquoise waters, but you can also find a slice of beach paradise on São Vicente too. Discover our top 10 beaches.

Unique wildlife opportunities 

With loggerhead turtles nesting and humpback whales appearing to calve, Cape Verde presents some interesting wildlife opportunities for holidaymakers. Between July and September, turtles come to Sal and Boa Vista to lay their eggs, and it's an incredibly rewarding experience to watch them, during a night excursion. You can then also watch the eggs hatch, with Project Biodiversity helping to protect the new hatchlings and see them safely off to sea. You can read more about the work of Project Biodiversity here, or visit their Facebook page.

Whale watching is another wonderful experience, taking place between February and May off the coast of Boa Vista. Read more about it in our blog post.

 

Water sports for everyone 

If you like to get out on the water when the sun's out, there are plenty of water sports on offer for both advanced and beginners. From kayaking and diving to the more popular kitesurfing and windsurfing, you can rent equipment and take lessons at numerous locations on Sal, Boa Vista and São Vicente.
