    Location: Kite Beach Coastline, J454+67Q, South East Coast, Santa Maria, Cabo Verde

    Getting to the Camp:

    • Volunteers will be picked up from Santa Maria (town center or designated meeting point) and transported to Costa Fragata Turtle Camp.
    • The camp is located on Costa Fragata Beach, one of Sal Islandā€™s main turtle nesting areas.
    • The pick-up ensures safe arrival and guidance, so volunteers do not need to arrange their own transport.

    Tip: Bring sun protection, comfortable shoes for sandy terrain, and water for the journey.
