Water Park :: Cape Verde

About Sal

Water Park, Sal, Cape Verde - MapSal is one of the more developed islands in Cape Verde and because of its idyllic white sandy beaches is fast becoming the destination of choice for tourists who visit the islands. Sal got its name from the discovery of a lagoon in an extinct volcano at its centre which produces salt after it rains.

From North to South Sal is about 34kms long and does not exceed 12kms in width. The overall surface is 216km2. Nevertheless, its airport is large and continues to serve as one of the main gateways to the whole archipelago. On its busiest summer day Sal handles more air traffic than some of our regional airports in Ireland and the UK.

Sal has a dry tropical climate with low humidity. Its average temperature is 25°C, there is low rainfall, and it has the good fortune not to suffer the ravishes of hurricanes, making it a safe year round bet for the discerning traveller.
