Chaves Beach in Boa Vista, Cape Verde, is renowned for its expansive golden sands and turquoise waters, making it ideal for sunbathing, swimming, and leisurely walks. It's generally accessible, though some areas may have soft sand that poses challenges for those with mobility issues. Both solo and guided visits are common, with guided tours often including transportation and information about the area's history and ecology. The beach is generally accessible year-round, but be aware of stronger winds during the winter months (November to March). A visit is relatively inexpensive, primarily involving transportation costs if staying outside of walking distance. Plan for a visit of 2-4 hours to fully enjoy the beach.
