Boa vista

Boa vista offers two magnificent beaches ( Chaves 15km and Santa Monica 5km) of powder white sand extending into blue oceans.  It is the nearest island to the African coast and has a desert interior of high sand dunes. The climate is influenced by the hot dry winds coming from the Sahara. The main town of Sal Rei is a sleepy place which can come alive at dusk.  Boa Vista has a wonderful relaxed atmosphere and tends to be many peoples favorite island.  There are some good water sports, jeep safaris and quad biking for hire and horse riding facilities.
