Live from Sal – Santa Maria Beach and Surf
These cameras look out over Santa Maria on Sal, the busiest and sunniest of the Cape Verde Islands. The long white beach in view is the island’s centre of gravity: kitesurfers and windsurfers head here for the steady trade winds from October to July, while the town behind the sand is packed with restaurants, bars and dive centres.
Water temperatures stay between 22 °C and 27 °C all year, and daytime air temperatures sit around 25–30 °C – which is why Sal is a year-round destination. If the view is making you want to book, most of the island’s beach resorts are on this stretch of coast: see our pick of all-inclusive hotels on Sal.
