H2 Praia de Chaves on Boa Vista: a place of discovery
Praia de Chaves is on the Island of Boa Vista, near the village of Rabil. It is considered to be one of the most beautiful beaches in the world.
It is surrounded by white sand dunes shaped by the winds coming from the Sahara. The sea in this part of Cape Verde has thousands of hues, from emerald green to cobalt blue. About 10 kilometres long, it is ideal for long strolls and adventures looking for traces of the history of these places, such as the presence of chimneys dating back to the production of bricks.
Praia de Chaves Beach is also interesting from a natural point of view: from June to September, you can witness nesting by Caretta Caretta turtles, while in May, you will be enchanted as whales pass by. After a day spent enjoying the sun and adventure, take a well-deserved rest as you enjoy the fine local culinary treats at the VOI Praia de Chaves Resort, which faces this splendid coast.
