Ponta do Sol - A Hidden Paradise on the Island of Boa Vista, Cape Verde
Ponta do Sol is a quiet seaside town on the island of Boa Vista, Cape Verde, located on the northwestern coast of the country's easternmost island, and named after the "Cape of the Sun". It has one of the most pristine coastlines in Cape Verde, with long stretches of golden sandy beaches set against clear blue-green waters, ideal for surfing, snorkeling and sunbathing. The town is surrounded by rich ecological resources and nearby is the famous Momo Island Turtle Sanctuary, where thousands of green sea turtles lay their eggs every summer, making it a unique ecotourism highlight.
As the second largest town on the island of Boa Vista, Punta do Sol retains a strong Creole culture, with brightly colored Portuguese-style buildings complementing the local handicraft market. The town's pleasant climate, with year-round sunshine and little drought, provides visitors with a stable vacation environment. More tranquil than the hustle and bustle of popular tourist destinations, it's a great gateway for those seeking an in-depth travel experience that blends nature and culture, and is a great way to explore the charms of the eastern end of the Cape Verdean archipelago.
