Sal (Santa Maria, Kite Beach) is the main island with powerful wave spots and paradise beaches. Boa Vista offers wilder, unspoilt beaches. Water at 22-24°C, Atlantic waves, moderate-to-powerful conditions, and European proximity (direct 6h flights) make it ideal for those wanting more than flat Egypt or Morocco.
