Santa Cruz Cabrália, Beach municipality in Porto Seguro, Brazil.
Santa Cruz Cabralia extends along the northeastern coast of Bahia, featuring white sand beaches and clear waters at an elevation of 75 meters.
Portuguese colonizers established this settlement on July 23, 1564, marking one of the earliest European foundations in the Bahia region of Brazil.
The municipality preserves traditions from indigenous, African, and Portuguese influences through regional festivals, dances, and local gastronomy throughout the year.
Visitors reach the area through Porto Seguro International Airport, located 20 kilometers away, with regular connections to major Brazilian cities.
The Cross Square near the beach marks the location where Portuguese explorers celebrated the first Catholic mass in Brazilian territory in 1500.
