Windsurfing & Kitesurfing on Sal

Sal, Cape Verde

Sal, one of the Barlavento islands, is a flat and desert like island. An international airport makes Sal the most visited island and, plus, the major gateway to the Cape Verde islands. Sal takes its name from the now inactive salt mines. The Pedro Lume salt mines, dramatically contained inside the vast Caldeira of a long extinct volcano, are one of the island's attraction.

The landscape of Sal is not very diverse; it is the flattest island of Cape Verde. But the abundance of extensive beaches and the guaranteed sun has turned Sal into a major tourist destination. The intensively developing island offers a varied range of accommodation: from B&B to all inclusive resorts. The town of Espargos is the administrative centre of Sal. Santa Maria, located 18 km south of the airport, is the most developed tourist resort, offering accommodations, bars and restaurants.
