Praia da Chave, Beach on Boa Vista Island, Cape Verde.
The beach extends for 5 kilometers along the western coast of Boa Vista, featuring white sand and clear waters of the Atlantic Ocean.
The northern section of the beach underwent transformation from an untouched coastline to a resort destination during Cape Verde's tourism development in recent decades.
Local fishermen maintain traditional fishing practices near the beach, connecting present-day visitors with the maritime heritage of Cape Verde.
Visitors can access the beach through multiple entry points from nearby resorts, with the closest town of Rabil providing additional services and amenities.
The southern part of the beach belongs to Morro de Areia Nature Reserve, creating a protected zone for local flora and fauna species.
