About Praia de Coroa Vermelha
Praia de Coroa Vermelha is in Santa Cruz Cabrália and combines the coastal landscape with references to the history and Pataxó culture. The cross and the public area next to the beach mark the memory of the first mass. Walking around the surroundings allows you to observe the relationship between the coast and the communities that live in the region.
The area of the cross connects to the route along the sandy stretch. Cultural experiences offered by the communities require prior arrangement. On the sand, choose the stretch according to the tide and sea conditions. Reefs and sandbanks change appearance throughout the day; their presence in the landscape does not mean they are suitable for walking across or bathing at any time. Respect local guidance and the community use of the spaces.
