About the Beach
What is Praia da Santa Beach?
It's an Oceanic Beach in the northern hemisphere bathed by the Atlantic Ocean, located on the coast of Portugal - Iberian Peninsula - in the municipality of Vila do Bispo.
Praia da Santa Beach has a small dimensions sand with the shape of a seashell.
Those who visit its neighboring beach don't even know of its existence, for being so well hidden.
On top of the west cliff are the Ruínas do Forte de Vera Cruz1, from the seventeenth-century.
The access is done through a dirt road ending on the cliff top. From here, one must go to the mid section in order to proceed the descendant way.
