What to pack for Cape Verde in the summer

When packing for Cape Verde in the summer, lightweight and breathable clothing is essential due to the hot and humid climate.

Opt for loose-fitting garments made from natural fibers such as cotton or linen to stay cool and comfortable. It's also a good idea to pack a mix of items, including shorts, t-shirts, sundresses, and lightweight pants to accommodate various activities and occasions.

Don't forget to pack swimwear, as the beautiful beaches and clear waters of Cape Verde are perfect for swimming and water activities. Additionally, bring a wide-brimmed hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen to protect yourself from the strong sun. As evenings can be cooler, consider bringing a light sweater or jacket for those times when you may need an extra layer.

Overall, pack versatile and practical clothing that will keep you comfortable in the hot weather while allowing you to explore and enjoy all that Cape Verde has to offer during the summer months.
