Activities in Sal & Santa Maria
Activities / Places to see
The place to be if you kitesurf! You'll find two kite schools, where you can have a drink or eat in between your sessions. If you don't kite, it's worth taking a look. There are no official roads to reach it so you'll have to take a taxi for 5 euros from santa maria.

Very famous point in Sal, a natural pool which is formed by the ocean filling up the hole created by the volcanic lava. When the sun shines down on it (at a specific time of day) you’ll see a spectacular turquoise colour. You can swim in the natural pools next to it, with a 3eur fee to visit.

If you are looking to buy fresh fish by local fishermen, this is the place to go! If not, you can watch the fishermen catch, cut and sell their fish to residents, tourists or bring them to restaurants. Tuna is very popular and fishing is one of the biggest industries on the island.
