What you can do in Cape Verde

Kitesurfing

Boa VistaJan Feb Mar Apr May Jun Jul Nov DecBoa Vista is Cape Verde's flat-water answer to Dakhla: a wide, shallow lagoon at Santa Mônica beach running for kilometres under consistent NE trade winds from November through July. The key distinction from other Atlantic kite spots is the combination of flat water, reliable wind, and near-zero crowd density. Boa Vista is not yet a well-established name on the global kite circuit, which means the beach is not crowded with kites even during the European charter season. Schools are professional but small; the island itself is quiet and low-key. For riders seeking a progression environment without distraction, calm lagoon, steady wind, warm-ish water, unhurried pace, this is one of the Atlantic's best-kept secrets. Whale watching (humpbacks off the coast December-March) and sea turtle nesting season (July-October on protected beaches) add natural context.
