Description:
Palmeira lies on the western side of the island of Sal, on the north shore of a large bay. Sal is 40nm north of Boa Vista and is one of the most tourist-orientated of the Cape Verde islands. It is a small, friendly town.
Due to the prevailing winds, the Palmeira anchorage is generally very sheltered. It has been reported to be a very hospitable harbor, however, dinghy and outboard theft have been a problem here in the past.
Entrance Notes and Cautions:
It is not advisable to enter at night here because of the various wrecks, and also the lighthouse might not be working. Most of the lighthouses in this area of the Cape Verdes are dilapidated and don't work.
A boat was boarded and burgled while the owners were ashore here in October 2022. See comments. Be sure to lock up when leaving your boat unattended.
Position:
16° 45.19'N, 22° 58.79'W (anchorage)
