Where is Cape Verde you might ask? It’s an island country in the coast of Western Africa are famous for their warm climate, volcanic islands, exotic music and sumptuous cuisine. Curralinho and Boa Vista are two of the most popular beaches in the country.
Boa Vista
Boa Vista is the largest island in Cape Verde and the easternmost. While its neighboring island, Sal, attracts droves of tourists each year, this island is very unique. Traveling back in time when the great explorer Christopher Columbus set foot on the island in 1498 it didn’t seem like a great place to him, but maybe he had seen too many mesmerizing things on his journeys to really be captivated by most places we ordinary mortals would consider paradise. But today the island is fast growing in popularity. Its tropical temperatures and beautiful beaches are the stuff of unbridled beauty, spanning a whopping 55 km. They feature crystal clear blue tides and a low number of tourists at the beach, making this one of the best places to relax away from the bustles of civilization.
Curralinho
The beach at Curralinho is said to be one of the best and is popularly known as Santa Monica due to its likeness to the California beach. It features around 20 miles of pure Australian grandeur and neighbor’s Praia da Varandinha beach. Curralinho beach has calm, warm waters, making it the ideal beach to spend the day swimming, especially with family. It is also a great place if you are into diving, not to mention that there are numerous restaurants and beach bars nearby where you can enjoy delicious delicacies and relax with a drink afterwards.
Curralinho and Boa Vista are two of the most popular islands in Cape Verde. Their blend of a unique environment, and magnificent resorts makes them some of the must see attractions in the republic. This is not to mention that they are great relaxation spots for those seeking some peace and quiet.

What airlines flies there from the US and what is the average cost of a round-trip ticket from NY? My husband knew a number of Cape Verdeans when he lived in Paris.
