Sal island provides fantastic possibilities for observing wildlife, especially marine life. Whale watching is a big attraction; in March and April, pods of humpback whales pass by the island’s coast as they migrate to the area to mate. Additionally, loggerhead turtles (Caretta Caretta) have been spotted gliding just below the water's surface. If you want to go for a swim of a completely different kind, the lakes near Pedra de Lume on Sal, the hub of the islands' salt manufacturing, are so salty that you will float in the water.
