Praia de Chaves, Boa Vista
About Praia de Chaves, Boa Vista
Praia da Atalanta stands out for its wild, open setting and the shipwreck that has made this stretch of Boa Vista instantly recognisable. It feels less like a typical beach stop and more like one of the island’s more striking coastal sights, especially if you want somewhere quieter, less built up, and a little different from the usual resort side of Boa Vista.
When to visit
November to June is the sweet spot for dry, sunny beach days, while August to October is warmer, more humid, and slightly rainier.
Most popular: December - February
