A warm wind pushes sand across dunes as the combi eases off the main road and the Atlantic opens up: long beaches folding into limestone cliffs, a rusting ship hull beached on pale sand, and the wide sweep of Praia de Chaves glittering under a clean sky.

A warm wind pushes sand across dunes as the combi eases off the main road and the Atlantic opens up: long beaches folding into limestone cliffs, a rusting ship hull beached on pale sand, and the wide sweep of Praia de Chaves glittering under a clean sky.
This full-day loop visits highlights along Boa Vista’s west and north coasts — Varandinha’s wave-carved caves, the lonely Cabo Santa Maria shipwreck, the long, swimmable sands of Santa Mónica, and the low town center of Sal Rei with its market and fishing port. Geologically the island is volcanic but the west coast shows exposed sedimentary limestone and dune fields shaped by persistent onshore trade winds; centuries of salt and sand have carved compact caverns and sharp coastal benches.
Culturally, the tour threads local life into the scenery: a pottery school in Rabil where artisans shape clay into wares sold on site, and a seaside restaurant lunch with Creole-influenced plates. Guides typically explain the shipwreck’s local lore and point out the role of artisanal fishing in Sal Rei’s economy.
Practical details are straightforward: the tour runs about 7–8 hours and travels by shared combi with short walks and a few dune climbs. Bring sun protection, swimwear, and footwear that can handle sand and slick rock. Hydrate ahead of stops; be prepared for gusts on high viewpoints and limited shade at most stops. The pace is relaxed — ideal for travelers who want a single-day orientation to Boa Vista’s coastal highlights with opportunities to swim, photograph, and shop small local crafts.
