Praia da Rocha trip planner

A bustling beach resort in Algarve's Portimão, Praia da Rocha is home to both high-rise hotels and 19th-century mansions. While the area is best known for its sandy shoreline and 16th-century fortress, the town itself boasts a number of restaurants, bars, and clubs for visitors to enjoy. Take a walk along the marina, try your luck at the casino, or go for a swim in the Atlantic Ocean. Praia da Rocha became a popular vacation destination among wealthy Europeans in the 1800s. Though it has been built up significantly since that time to accommodate more tourists, the town is still an attractive slice of Portugal's coastal beauty.
