Sal is the most popular of all the Cape Verdian Islands and much of the island is still fairly baron with a moon-like landscape. On the north of the island you'll find a huge salt lake in an extinct volcano crater, Pedra Lume- a sight definitely worth seeing! The capital, Espargos is also worth a trip if you want more of an idea of the local culture and heritage. In terms of tourism, most of the action on Sal goes on in Santa Maria.
Santa Maria and Ponta Preta beaches are a Mecca for water sports enthusiasts. Known as one of the worlds top windsurfing locations, people come from all over to sample the great conditions on Sal. Other popular pursuits are surfing and kite surfing, and whether you're an expert or a beginner there is plenty of opportunity to get in the water and try out the waves! If you're less of a water sports enthusiast, you will still appreciate the soft white sandy beaches where you can lay and read a good book or enjoy an ice cold beer.
