Garajau Cable Car to Garajau Beach

Highlight • Rest Area

The cable car leads directly from the parking lot to the Praia do Garajau. So if you like a cool down and want to save the way to the beach, with € 3.00 there;)

Garajau Beach

Highlight • Natural Monument

Great rock formation on the beach (cable car). You can walk a bit right on the rock if the waves aren't too high (a lot of crabs on the way).

A place visited even by people with a nonchalant approach to faith. A mighty statue of Jesus towering over the ocean and a rocky beach below.
