By midmorning the Atlantic slips into view and the highway climbs a line of low volcanic ridges. You arrive at Tabouga’s sandy flank with the ocean glinting to the west and a cool wind shaping the dunes into crisp ridgelines that dare you to drop in. Guides fit boards while mint tea steams—then it’s a short, breath-stealing climb up the sand ladder and the first fast, grainy run down to the beach.

Hydrate before and during the trip

Sturdy sandals or lightweight closed-toe shoes make ascending the steep sand ladder easier and protect toes on descents.
