Shark Bay, Marine observation site in Feijoal, Cape Verde
The bay contains a lagoon with lava rocks at the bottom where lemon sharks swim in shallow waters near the northeastern coast of Sal Island.
The waters of Shark Bay have supported local fishing communities for generations, providing both sustenance and economic opportunities through marine activities.
Local guides share their knowledge of shark behavior and marine ecosystems, contributing to environmental education and conservation awareness in Cape Verde.
Visitors need protective footwear when entering the water, with rental shoes available from local vendors for approximately 2-3 euros per person.
The location offers opportunities to observe lemon sharks in their natural habitat from the shore, as they hunt for food during changing tides.
