The Algarve has no shortage of spectacular beaches but Praia da Rocha, located right at the heart of Portimão, is one of the most convenient. The name translates to “rocky beach” and it’s a literal one, with hunks of limestone marooned amid a sea of yellow sand. The beach stretches for 1 km or so, and is popular with families as it shelves gently into the clear water. Though it’s tempting just to lie in the sun, there are many water sports available near the beach for those who prefer to stay active, including surfing, jet skiing, parasailing and kayaking. Stroll along to the neighbouring Praia dos Três Castelos, where you’ll find a trio of rocks in the sea which inspired its name, "Three Castles" Beach. Praia do Tres Castelos, also known as Three Castles Beach, sits directly to the west of Praia da Rocha – you can easily combine a visit to enjoy both. When the tide’s low, you can stroll along the sand to Praia dos Careanos and beyond. It requires a steep trek up and down the stairs to reach, so get ready to work up a sweat. Praia do Tres Castelos is famed for its sharp rock formations and pretty hidden caves; both wonderful to explore on foot. If it all looks a bit too daunting, soak up the views from the winding hiking trail on the clifftop instead.

First the blue sea and its gently lapping waves. Then fine, golden sands framed by cliffs and rocks. The cosmopolitan atmosphere of an international tourism destination. This is the Algarve of beach holidays in the sun. Portimão and its municipality have much more to offer though: a rich heritage of historical monuments; the eternal natural beauty of the Ria de Alvor; the charm of cultivated fields, of slopes covered with pine trees and wild flowers as you climb up into the hills of the “serra”, your days in the Algarve thus gaining a whole new dimension.

Portimão: Traditionally an important trading and fishing port, Portimão has now become one of the Algarve’s most popular holiday destinations and a modern city offering fabulous beaches, proximity to the natural beauty of the Alvor estuary and plenty of animation. The attraction of the area lies in the amazing diversity of its countryside and beaches. Holidaymakers in search of sun and sea will have the choice of longer beaches, such as the much-loved Praia da Rocha, or any one of the smaller, more sheltered ones like Prainha, lying westwards of the city. Many of Portimão’s beaches are framed by the characteristic golden cliffs of the area and feature the stunning rock outcrops that are the delight of scuba divers and snorkellers. Praia do Alvor, the westernmost beach in the Portimão area, is entirely different. Gone are the cliffs and rocks and, in their place, lie the glistening white dunes of the sand barrier that separates the ocean from the lagoons and marshlands of the Alvor estuary. The protected area around the estuary is a beautiful place to visit. Its marshlands and canals are graced with numerous species of migrating birds and offer a sense of tranquillity that is far removed from the animation of the coastal resorts. Portimão is a bustling seaside city in which there is plenty to see and do. Beach-lovers will be close to the beautiful Praia da Rocha, where they will find a host of amenities, including water sports rentals, bars, cafés, restaurants and shops. For those wishing to see the sights, the riverfront area is particularly pleasant for a saunter along the promenade to gaze at the passing fishing boats or to stop and sample the favourite local snack (the region’s unique sardines on homemade bread) in one of the city’s celebrated fish restaurants. The area is particularly lively in August when the crowds gather to celebrate the popular Sardine Festival. Boats providing scenic trips up the Arade river also depart from here, giving visitors the chance to admire the changing landscape further inland. Portimão’s lively nightlife is a far cry from the peace and quiet of the fishing village of old. The marina is the epitome of modern Portimão and has become a favourite summer venue, offering a wide choice of bars, restaurants and nightclubs in very select surroundings. Praia da Rocha is the liveliest area for evening entertainment, its many bars and nightclubs providing all-night partying and its casino drawing many visitors from afar. In the summer, when many of the clubs host world-class DJs, Praia da Rocha becomes one of the most exclusive nightlife spots in the Algarve. Keen golfers have a number of golf courses to choose from in the surroundings, including Álamos, Morgado, Alto Golf, the Penina courses and Silves Golf.
