EV1 Coastal View at Santa Cruz
Highlight • Viewpoint
Views along the route
Mirante Beach: One of the highlights of the route, this location has a viewpoint that offers a panoramic view of the coast and the ocean. Mirante Beach is located on the EuroVelo 1 route, making it an ideal stopping point.
Ciclovia das Praias: Connects Porto Novo to Santa Cruz Beach. The cycle path is about 7.4 km long and runs between the "softness of the dunes and the coolness of the cliffs", providing unobstructed views of the coastline.
Mouth of the Sizandro River: The EuroVelo 1 also connects to the Sizandro Ecotrail, which follows the river to its mouth, offering views where the rural landscape meets the coast.
Tips for cyclists
Porto Novo – Santa Cruz section: This is one of the best-structured segments, with a dedicated, signposted, and well-maintained cycle path, ideal for a leisurely ride.
Connection with the Ecotrail: For a more complete experience, it is possible to combine the coastal section with the Sizandro Ecotrail, which goes inland and offers more rural landscapes.
Equipment: Although the cycle path section is paved, the EuroVelo 1 route in Portugal includes gravel sections in other parts. For those planning to continue the route, a touring or gravel bike is most recommended.
