Our preferred beach! The sand was immaculately clean and the beach was not overly crowded. Additionally, the setting was more distinct to Portugal as the beach was surrounded by rocks and cliffs, unlike Praia de Rocha on the opposite side. However, please be cautious as rocks have been seen tumbling down from the cliffs and nearly hit a sunbathing woman. It is essential to be mindful of your surroundings. This is an excellent location to witness the sunset. There are a few restaurants and bars on this side, but not as many as on Praia de Rocha. There are no public restrooms on this side unless you are a paying customer. Lifeguards are highly attentive. There are numerous small caves to explore and an abundance of seashells to collect. On this side, there are fewer seagulls.

Although I'm not a beach connoisseur, I must say that this particular beach is quite striking. The presence of large erosions in the cliffs and rocks, also known as caves, adds to its charm. Unlike its neighboring beach, Praia da Rocha, it appears to be less crowded and ostentatious. The beach offers ample space for strolling, and there aren't too many rented chairs and umbrellas to obstruct the view. During our stay, we chose to lounge in front of Rocha Azul, which was an excellent spot to savor cold ice slushies and beer.

Whether you're looking to unwind or simply take in the breathtaking scenery, this beach is sure to leave a lasting impression.

This beach is an absolute marvel, boasting breathtaking views that are sure to leave you in awe. The water is shallow for a good distance, making it the perfect spot for a leisurely swim. The cliffs and solitary rocks that dot the coastline only serve to enhance the beach's already considerable charm.
