Boa Entrada is a settlement in the central part of the island of Santiago, Cape Verde.

It is situated 2 km north of Assomada city centre.

The area is intensively cultivated, especially with sugarcane and mango trees.

There is a very large kapok tree near the village of Boa Entrada, standing at the bottom of a valley, 400 m above sea level.

The kapok tree is about 25 m high and was identified as an Important Bird Area (IBA) by BirdLife International because it supports a colony of purple herons.
