Things to do in Ilha do Sal, Ilha do Sal: The Best Sights & Landmarks

July 20, 2021 Renato Branum

The Cape Verdean island of Sal is all about the beach, baby. White sand stretches along glassy turquoise waters—perfect for a lazy day of sunning or some heart-pumping watersports. Snorkelers and divers will find plenty of tropical fish, turtles, and dolphins to look at. On dry land, kids (and grownups!) will marvel at the Terra Boa mirage, an optical illusion that conjures a peaceful-looking lake in the middle of a large, flat plain.

Pedra Lume Salt Crater

This place is amazing - you genuinely do float!! Came here as part of the island tour and highly enjoyable. Just be aware the walk there is downhill, but a bit of an uphill climb on the way back so take suitable footwear!

Paroquia de Nossa Senhora das Dores

Reviewed By 3MaryB3 - Dunfermline, United Kingdom

Visited the church while in Sal We were there for the Sunday morning service It Was beautiful with the the kids singing and the adult choir The priest spoke in different languages and made everyone very welcome. The church is open all day but if you can make the Sunday service it is well worth seeing It was very busy and had people sitting outside for the service Take some money as a collection is made to help with the church funds

The beach area is great lots of locals catching and selling fish. lovely sands. Nearby shops ok but pricey, stall are better for haggling. The little local church is lovely.
