Located approximately 400 miles off the west coast of Africa, Cape Verde is 1,000 km south of the Canary Islands.

Beaches :  Superb with long stretches of white sand.  Sal and Boa Vista have the most popular beaches.

Marine Life : Divers will love the tropical fish, green turtles, yellow-fin tuna, marlin and dolphins [to name only a few of what can be seen].  Marine turtles are among the most important species on the islands and is a staging post for them between America and Africa.
