Sal is part of Cape Verde, a group of 10 islands sprinkled off the west coast of Africa. They’re relatively unknown in the mainstream market and, thanks to their location, they’re a unique melting pot of cultures. The islands were originally discovered by the Portuguese, and there’s also a mixture of African and Brazilian influences. You’ll see it in the island’s music, fashion and, perhaps most obviously, in the food.
The travel guides like to refer to Cape Verde as the ‘African Caribbean’, and the country certainly lives up to its nickname. Sal, one of the most popular islands, has snow-white beaches and rainbow-painted towns, just like those you’d find in Jamaica and the Dominican Republic.
Sal’s busiest town is Santa Maria, a Crayola-coloured hub filled with surf stores, craft shops, and restaurants that serve local specialities, like steaming catchupa stew. Most of the hotels on the island are lined up along the town’s beach – an eight-kilometre stretch of sand dotted with beach bars and windsurfing centres.

What are the beaches like in Sal?
Sal is a small island enjoying year round sunshine and surrounded by clear, warm waters. The island offers excellent opportunities for watersports, particularly snorkelling and scuba diving, windsurfing and kitesurfing, sailing and sport fishing. Most of the tourist accommodation is located in Santa Maria and along the 8km long white sand beaches of the south coast.
What is there to do in Sal?
Quad bike and jeep tours are readily available and ideal for exploring the natural landscapes of the island as well as the towns and villages. At the small almost deserted village of Pedra de Lume, on the east coast, you can see the remains of the former salt mining equipment and cable car at the foot of the large crater. The crater is filled with a salt lake, which you can access via a tunnel and float effortlessly in the buoyant and mineral rich waters; although you might want to wear something on your feet as the bottom is covered with salt crystals. There is even a cafe inside where you can shower and take lunch.
