Children's Holidays in Cape Verde

Imagine the biggest sand pit your child has ever played in! This is what awaits you in Islands such as Sal and Boa Vista with mile upon mile of bucket and spade heaven. Whilst some of the other islands may not have the beaches they will certainly prove extremely interesting for children who are looking for an adventure and those that are well travelled. Imagine them telling their school friends they spent a day exploring an active volcano!

Italian and Portuguese families have been visiting the islands for years and although there are no waterparks or child specific attractions within the islands, they will no doubt love experiencing such sights as the mirage at Terra Boa on Sal, going horse riding or even turtle spotting.

Older children will be in their element if they love water sports. The culture will no doubt amaze and enthral young ones, and with the combination of Africa and Latin they are sure to experience something quite unique.

Children are adored throughout the islands and families form an important part of the Cape Verde way of life. The weather is also better suited to children than many destinations in the Mediterranean, due to the constant Atlantic breezes and relatively low humidity.
