Things to do in Praia da Rocha
There is not a great deal to do in Praia da Rocha besides swimming, sunbathing, dining in restaurants and partying into the night. The avenue of Tomas Cabreira is full of restaurants and shops, each offering gorgeous views of the water. The Santa Catarina de Ribamar Fortress sits at the end of Tomas Cabriera and was used as a defence against pirates in the 17th and 18th centuries.
Many resorts here offer entertainment, but for a real treat it is worth venturing a little further to family attractions such as Slide and Splash waterpark in Lagoa. For golfers, there are several courses nearby such as Penina and Silves.
