Visit Boa Vista
Boa Vista is one of the ten islands that make up the Cape Verde archipelago and is located off the coast of West Africa. Boa Vista offers a unique blend of traditional African culture and beautiful natural landscapes. The island enjoys year-round sunshine, white sand beaches, vibrant coral reefs and crystal clear waters, making it a top destination for beach-goers, nature lovers and adventure seekers alike.
The blue lagoon in Sao Joao is Boa Vista's most popular tourist spot. Here you can find an abundance of tropical fish, spectacular snorkeling sites and white sand beaches ideal for swimming or sunbathing. For those seeking a more active experience, there are plenty of opportunities for water sports such as windsurfing, sailing or kitesurfing on the east side of the island in Sal Rei.
For history buffs, Boa Vista has plenty to offer as well. One interesting historical fact about Boa Vista is that it was once home to some 50 thousand slaves who were brought from Africa by Portuguese traders during the 19th century to work on cotton plantations in Sal Rei Bay.
