The Praia da Rocha (rocky beach) is one of the most famous beaches in the Algarve. The coast changes due to erosion as rocks break off again and again.

Hiking

City beach and therefore totally overcrowded when the weather is nice. Infrastructure very good.

Hiking

A large, wide sandy beach. However, the smaller bays toward Praia do Vau are more idyllic.
