Travel tips for Cabo Verde

  • 1

    Pack reef-safe sunscreen—Cabo Verde’s beaches, like Santa Maria, have pristine waters perfect for snorkeling but fragile marine ecosystems.

  • 2

    Learn a few phrases in Crioulo, the local language; even basic greetings like 'Bom dia' (good morning) go a long way with locals.

  • 3

    Use the ferry between islands like São Vicente and Santo Antão to experience dramatic coastal scenery—book tickets in advance during peak season.
