The Turtle Shack is the new name for what used to be known as the Funana Restaurant. The name change reflects a move away from what was exclusively a Cape Verdean Restaurant – into one with a more European style of Entertainment Food and Ambience.

The Funana was built some 14 years ago – and has enjoyed an enviable reputation for authentic food, music and dance. Under the new ownership – we are retaining this for Friday evenings – but you can now also enjoy professional Cabaret entertainment from UK and other European countries.

We have an extensive menu from a simple Toasted Sandwich – through to what is widely regarded as the best Lobster dish on the Island.

The Turtle Shack is located on the best beach on Sal – just 50 metres from the main Pier near Santa Maria Town.  We have daytime Sun Loungers – so you can spend all day in the Sun .. and enjoy a Cold drink and something to eat anytime you want.

By night – the Turtle Shack becomes THE Entertainment spot on Sal. Throughout the week we have live Cabaret (See Events for full details) – we show all of the top Premier League, Champions League and International games – almost always with commentary in English.

The Turtle Shack Express travels throughout the day between Santa Maria Town, the main Tourist Hotels and the Turtle Shack – so if you see it, just hop on – its completely free and no obligation to come to see us.

We appreciate that very many of the Tourists that come to Sal Island stay at the All Inclusive Hotels – so we really do appreciate that we have to give you something special when you come here.

Steve, Angela and the whole of the Turtle Shack team will welcome you – answer any questions that you have – and do all that we can to make sure that everyone has a great time at the Turtle Shack.
