Boa Vista

Boa Vista has served as a maritime outpost within Cape Verde since the Portuguese colonial era. This eastern island is shaped by arid plains, wind-sculpted dunes and a long Atlantic shoreline, where broad beaches contrast with the rocky headlands around its coast. The Viana Desert lies inland, while Sal Rei, the island’s main town, developed beside salt pans that once supported local trade. Boa Vista is also known for beaches used by nesting loggerhead turtles, an important part of Cape Verde’s coastal ecology.
