The engine kicks into a steady growl and the island answers back — wind combing the sand, the Atlantic pushing rhythm against the shore. You peel away from the narrow hotel streets near Sal Rei and the landscape opens: low scrub, ancient lava ridges, and a coastline that alternates between cliff and endless white beach. On a quad, you feel every contour; the dunes of Morro de Areia rise and fall like a restless ocean demanding to be ridden.
