Sal

🚼Pram

Santa Maria's resort strip has flat, paved paths and beachfront promenades that work well with a stroller, though the island is sandy and windswept outside the main tourist area. Most all-inclusive resorts have step-free, stroller-friendly grounds throughout.

🍽️Food & Eating

Resorts on Sal are geared toward European package holidays, with buffet dining, kids' clubs, and high chairs standard. Fresh grilled fish is abundant, and simple pasta and pizza options are always available for fussier eaters.

🛡️Safety

Sal is calm, low-crime, and genuinely relaxed, one of the easier African island destinations for a family beach holiday. The main hazards are sun and wind exposure and occasionally strong currents on less sheltered beaches, so stick to lifeguarded areas.

🏥Hospitals

Medical facilities on Sal are limited to a small regional hospital and a few private clinics geared toward tourists, adequate for minor issues. Serious cases are typically evacuated to mainland Europe, so comprehensive travel insurance is essential.
