Epic Waves, Island Vibes – Surf Cape Verde

Cape Verde is a true gem for surfers, with powerful waves, stunning beaches, and a climate that guarantees epic sessions all year round. The top islands for surfing are Sal and Boa Vista — real Atlantic hotspots. At Ponta Preta (Sal), experienced surfers can ride fast, barreling waves, considered among the best in the world for wave riding.

Looking for a mix of power and wild beauty? Santa Maria is your spot: a long golden beach with waves perfect for all levels, and a super welcoming surf-friendly community. On Boa Vista, spots like Varandinha and Ervatão deliver serious thrills with reef breaks and lunar landscapes.

Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned rider, surfing in Cape Verde is a lifestyle. And when you step off the board? Soak up the laid-back vibe, fiery sunsets, and the unique African energy that makes this archipelago unforgettable.

Cape Verde Unplugged: More Than Just Surf

Cape Verde Unplugged: More Than Just Surf

Cape Verde is much more than spectacular waves and surfboards. It’s an archipelago pulsing with color, music, and untamed nature. When you’re not in the water, let yourself be swept away by the islands’ laid-back rhythm: wander through the colorful streets of Santa Maria on the island of Sal, where the fishermen’s pier at sunset turns into a living postcard and the evening comes alive with beach bars, impromptu concerts, and artisan markets. In Sal Rei, on Boa Vista, you’ll find pastel houses, sandy roads, a slow-paced vibe, and immense dunes plunging into the ocean—perfect to cross by quad or admire at sunset. Mindelo, on São Vicente, is the cultural capital of the country: a mix of bohemian soul, street art, festivals, and live music that fills the nights with good vibes and beachside dancing.

If you’re after something more authentic, São Filipe on the island of Fogo welcomes you with its colorful colonial houses, artisan coffee, and the chance to hike to the summit of Pico do Fogo volcano to feel on top of the world. And then there’s everything else: treks across volcanic craters, horseback rides, fresh seafood dinners and cachupa with an ocean view, sailing excursions, and music under the stars. Whether you want to relax on an untouched beach, dance barefoot in the sand, or get lost in the most surreal landscapes of the Atlantic, Cape Verde is a dream to live—different every single day.
