Monuments
Debido a su gran biodiversidad, el término municipal de Becerreá coincide con varios espacios naturales protegidos. Pertenece a la Reserva de la biosfera de Os Ancares Lucenses y Montes de Cervantes, Navia y Becerreá. Con el municipio vecino de Los Nogales, comparte la zona especial de conservación (ZEC) Cruzul-Agüeira, un espacio natural de la Red Natura 2000 de la Unión Europea. La práctica totalidad de ese espacio la ocupan dos bosques singulares que muestran un raro ejemplo de convivencia entre especies mediterráneas y especies autóctonas de esta zona atlántica: el encinar de Cruzul, que es el encinar más septentrional de la península, y el Soto de Agüeira, un bosque de castaños que se mezcla con robles en las cotas más altas. Este último alberga el llamado «bosque dos grobos» en el que afloran imponentes rocas calizas cubiertas de muzgo y vegetación.
Becerreá es también uno de los municipios que cubre la Zona Especial de Protección de Aves (ZEPA) de Ancares.
