Buracona is a small bay located in the northwest of the island of Sal, at approximately 5km north of the village Palmeira. Buracona and the "blue eye" is basically a natural pool formed by the ocean into the lava rocks. When the light hits this natural pool from the right angle, the color turns into a magic turquoise blue. The water in the cave show tides, as it is connected directly with the sea.
