Sal Island features the turquoise waters of Santa Maria, a hub for windsurfing and kitesurfing, alongside the secluded rocky coves of Calheta Funda. São Vicente offers the shallow natural lagoon of Baía das Gatas, while Boa Vista’s Varandinha is characterized by limestone sea caves and dramatic rock formations.
