Ilhéus do Rombo

Islands Chain of small islets off Brava's coast, Cape Verde

The Ilhéus do Rombo are small islets off Brava’s coast in Cape Verde, with rocky shores and seabird habitat. Visitors reach them by boat for wildlife observation and coastal scenery.

Ilhéus do Rombo is a small group of uninhabited islets situated off the coast of Brava island in Cape Verde. They are rocky, maritime features that serve as habitat for seabirds and marine life.
