Morro de Areia Nature Reserve (Portuguese: Reserva Natural do Morro de Areia) is a nature reserve covering the southwestern coast of the island of Boa Vista in Cape Verde.

[1] It takes its name from the hill Morro de Areia, 167 m (548 ft) elevation.

The natural reserve covers 21.31 km2 of land area,[2][3] and stretches along the coast from the Praia de Chaves in the north to the Praia de Santa Monica in the south.

[1] The reserve includes a 300 m wide marine protection zone, an additional 4.36 km2.

[2] The nature reserve was established in order to protect the sand dynamics of the dunes, and endemic wildlife species including red-billed tropicbird, osprey, turtles, nurse shark, and numerous invertebrates.
