Rabo de Junco is a protected headland nature reserve on the northern coast of Sal Island, known for its rugged coastline and important seabird nesting sites. The reserve features dramatic cliffs, rocky coves, and a landscape shaped by wind and waves. Visitors can explore walking trails that wind along the cliffs, offering breathtaking views of the Atlantic and opportunities to spot seabirds such as brown boobies and frigatebirds. The area is also a popular spot for surfing and bodyboarding due to consistent waves. The reserve's remote and unspoiled character makes it a peaceful escape for nature enthusiasts.
