What to expect
Praia de Santa Cruz is a beach located in the municipality of Torres Vedras, in the Portuguese district of Lisbon. The beach is part of a strong agricultural region linked to its vineyards, and has an intense commercial and industrial life. Torres Vedras has a rich history, with the town being taken from the Moors in 1148 and later becoming a place of importance for the Portuguese monarchs. The Lines of Torres Vedras, a fortified system that includes 152 forts and 628 redoubts, was constructed in 1809-1810 to defend against the French invasions. The beach offers a public transportation service, with buses running from the beach to various locations in the area, including the town of Torres Vedras and the nearby villages
