Take your pick of the beaches

The pebble beach at Santa Cruz dishes up a pool, a climbing area and free plastic toys for the kids. There’s also a second option, Ribiera da Boaventura, over by the resort’s pint-sized waterpark. It's a lido-style set-up that comes with two big pools, plus a sundeck and a snack bar. And it’s right on the front, so you can dip into the sea, too.
