Praia Da Rocha
A favorite of beachgoers in Algarve, Praia Da Rocha is named for the beautiful cliffs and rocks near its shoreline. Though the sandy shores are ideal for playing with kids, taking long walks, or lounging in the sun, the area is called Rock Beach because of the cliffs. The blue waters have made this a favorite getaway for people from Portimao and beyond since the late 1800s. You'll have your pick of restaurants, bars, cafes, shops, and clubs along Tomás Cabreira, an avenue across the top of the beach. You can also visit the Fortress of Santa Catarina de Ribamar for views of the coast and marina.

Super long beach, great rock formations and nice walk to the lighthouse. It was quite windy when we visited (mid December). You can walk all the way to Praia do Vau too.

We are here for Christmas - New Year vacation 2022-23. Most of the restaurants on the boardwalk are closed but few are open. Weather is sometimes foggy, sometimes sunny. Water too cold for me to swim but children enjoyed. Very peaceful and not crowded at all.
