Centro Praia de Santa Cruz, R. da Azenha r/c, 2560-474 Silveira, Portugal
Praia de Santa Helena is a natural street-skating spot on the seafront promenade at Santa Cruz, right beside the beach. Rather than a purpose-built skatepark, the spot makes use of the existing urban environment, with smooth flatground, ledges and manual pads along the pedestrian promenade.
The oceanfront setting makes this one of the more distinctive skating locations in the Oeste region, with the Atlantic directly alongside the riding area. It is particularly suited to street skating, filming and relaxed sessions, with lighting also available for skating after dark.
The spot has been part of the local action-sports environment for years. Santa Helena's beachfront has also been used for urban-sports activities during events such as Santa Cruz Ocean Spirit, including urban skimboarding on the beach stairs.

A big part of skateboarding is about finding Animal Chin - your spirit animal, or in other words: whatever gets you stoked. Could be the right people to roll with, or that special dream terrain. Trucks and Fins has all the best skate destinations in one place; a map of stoke in your hands.
