Santo André Beach (Cabrália)

Santa Cruz Cabrália · Bahia

Visitor guide

Organising your visit

Santo André Beach is part of Santa Cruz Cabrália’s coastline, in the area where the João de Tiba River meets the sea. The landscape combines sand, water and coastal vegetation. Plan the crossing, beach access and return trip; services and swimming conditions vary according to the stretch and the day.

Santo André is an option for spending time on Santa Cruz Cabrália’s coast. A beach visit should take account of the journey to the district and conditions at the chosen stretch. Plan the facilities you need, especially with children, and do not assume every access point offers the same services.

When leaving Cabrália’s town centre, check the ferry operation and the journey after disembarking. Pedestrians need to check the remaining route as well as the crossing. Arrange the return before beginning your beach visit.
