Thomas Cook has named Cape Verde as one of its top five surfing destinations for winter, and points out that this archipelago is ideal for keen wind surfers and surfers as the trade winds blow across the islands between December and May.
There's no doubt this collection of islands is becoming far more popular as a tourist destination, and while many might come here for the surfing there are plenty of other activities to enjoy. It's the ideal spot for anyone who enjoys walking along long sandy beaches, or who wants to spend their days sunbathing and generally enjoying the peacefulness here.
Some of the most spectacular beaches can be found on Boa Vista as it has no less than 55 km of gorgeous white sand. Praia de Chaves is particularly amazing as the sand dunes have been sculpted by the winds, creating incredible patterns.
Deep sea fishing is a popular activity, and there are plenty of opportunities to join local fishermen, and the islands of Sal and Sau Vincente are considered to be amongst the best for fishing.
While there are lots of water sports above the water, the region is also ideal for anyone who enjoys diving as the clear waters make it easy to see the massive rock formations and shipwrecks. Trekking is also a popular activity, especially as the islands have a vast variety of landscapes. Other activities include quad biking, turtle watching and bird watching and horse riding. Island hopping is also a popular day trip.
