Santa Cruz has a very extensive beach, with different names depending on the concessionaire, and the well-known beaches are Praia do Navio, Praia do Mirante, Praia do Pisão, Praia da Física, Praia do Centro, Praia de Santa Helena, Praia da Formosa and Praia Azul. The purity of the waters and sands and the characteristic beauty of the picturesque rocks make Santa Cruz a very popular seaside resort.

Beautiful tree-lined avenue in the Alcabrichel Valley

Highlight • Trail

This little road is one of the gems of this area, which crosses the cliffs of Maceira, a gorge dug over millennia by the Alcabrichel stream, which gives the idea of stage curtains opening onto fertile meadows.
