Boa Vista Cabo Verde Travel Guide
Year-round: Lightweight, breathable fabrics (cotton, linen). Loose-fitting clothes are ideal. Daytime: Pack shorts, t-shirts, tank tops, and sundresses. These items suit the warm daily temperatures. Evenings: Bring a Light jacket, sweater, or long-sleeved shirt. Evenings can be breezy, especially during the high season (November-May). The constant wind can make it feel cooler once the sun sets.
