Santo André (Santiago do Cacém)

Portugal, Portugal

Santo André (Santiago do Cacém) is a coastal freguesia and city, officially Vila Nova de Santo André, in the Setúbal District of Portugal's Alentejo Litoral region, with around 11,000 residents across 75 square kilometers near the Atlantic Ocean.

Originally a fishing village named after Saint Andrew, it expanded in the 1970s-1980s as a planned community to support the nearby Sines industrial complex and oil industry, featuring modern amenities alongside historic sites like the 18th-century Baroque Igreja Paroquial de Santo André with its Manueline porch, Ermida de Nossa Senhora da Graça, and the contemporary Igreja de Santa Maria.

Its highlight is the Reserva Natural das Lagoas de Santo André e Sancha, a dynamic lagoon system that connects seasonally to the sea, attracting birdwatchers for flamingos and waterfowl, windsurfers, and anglers in a biodiverse coastal plain bordered by dunes, pine forests, and beaches ideal for relaxed seaside escapes.
